These little ladies are working on getting the vote!

It took about 70 years of activism in the US to get the 19th Amendment (guaranteeing the right to vote for women) ratified. The south eastern states were those most resistant. It ended up coming down to one vote in Tennessee. Those in opposition used a variety of tactics to explain why women should not vote. One of their reasons was that when women menstruate their ability to think and problem solve decreases. I've been watching documentaries about the history of suffrage in the US. I'm so grateful for the smart, politically active women that came before me and the men that supported them. Never miss voting in an election, ladies.

It took until 1984 for all 50 states to ratify the 19th amendment!!!!!!!!!!
