In 1920, the 19th Amendment granted many women the right to vote. This major victory was only one step in a long journey of women's activism.
Through the stories of Ohio and Westerville women, commemorate 100 years of suffrage. Celebrate women's efforts to seek and advance their rights with these ten thought-provoking questions.
- What does it mean to be a woman?
- Why is the vote so important?
- What does voting give you the power to do?
- How do you speak out?
- How do you experience discrimination?
- What other issues do you work for?
- How do women support each other?
- What does it mean to be a feminist?
- How do generations of women's activism build on each other?
- What does more than 100 years of women's activism make possible?
