I’m not sure how it escaped me that today is the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment (granting women the right to vote). On second thought, I do know what happened. I prefer to think it was the 20th – August 20, 1920 – it’s easier to remember.

In any case, I forgot and Jezebel reminded me. What an inspiring day. Women have had the right to vote (in the U.S.) for less than 100 years, and we’ve pretty much taken over. This victory did not come easy. It was 1848 when a young suffragist name Elizabeth Cady Stanton presented her Declaration of Sentiments, proclaiming that women should be granted the right to vote. It took 72 years for it to actually happen.

Whatever you’re fighting for. Keep fighting!
