So in honor of this day let me just direct you to two sites commemorating this historic date:
*For a quick and dirty overview The History Channel has a description of events
*For a more thorough examination of how the 19th Amendment came to fruition check out this very thorough site that goes through the major players who made this happen.
And for all you female U.S. citizens who have been participating in the process of voting throughout your adult lives, let us all recognize the contributions of the suffragists who fought long and hard to make sure that we could have this very basic right: the right to vote.

That is an incredible website. I am ashamed of how little I knew about our nation's fight for women to vote. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Happened by while looking for background on 19th. Looks like our small political club is going to try to get some funds for an advertisement in local paper. Should shake up our conservative men, but hoping some swing voters & maybe even some conservative sisters will get the point. We need more women in our local government offices! And Democrats are the only ones offering change!
