{The 19th Amendment....}

On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting American women the vote.
"May we never forget the plight," reminds Maria Popova of 'Brain Pickings'....who also shared these anti-suffragette postcards from the early 20th century (yikes!) ...which she calls "a brief pictorial history of socially sanctioned sexism."

And may we never forget the courage of so many women.... Thank you!
