Today is the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment being ratified - the amendment gave women the right to vote.
I think it is easy to take basic rights like this for granted. At the time, these women were quite revolutionary. I'm so thankful they fought for future generations of women!
This link provides some history and a timeline on the subject:
