WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF MANY COURAGEOUS ACTIVISTS
This video below received a lot of attention when we first published it years ago. Then in 2020 came a surprising announcement…that the first woman had been elected Vice President of the United States. This happened during the year US women had been voting for 100 years.
The early women’s rights movement wasn’t perfect. Volunteers carried out most of the effort, and the campaigning itself was decentralized. There were hundreds of votes for women organizations. And a single brush stroke can’t be expected to describe the tens of thousands of volunteers and diverse efforts it took to accomplish the goal.
