 How do you celebrate the efforts of half of the population? And the incredible history of womanhood to make life better for themselves and the whole world?

Party!

IN 2019 I shared this post about the women working to get the vote in England, with a prompt from Sepia Saturday. These Women Mean Business

Suffragists worked since the 1840s in America to get women the right to vote. It wasn't until 1920 that the required 2/3 of the states ratified the  19th amendment to the constitution.
