Fighting for the Vote(2026)

With voting rights in the United States threatened, it’s time to look back at the stories of women who fought to ensure they had the right to vote themselves. We’ll cover not only prominent activists and differing movements, along with the tale of the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, the schism that occurred around the 14th and 15th Amendments, and the split between the Suffragists who wanted to work within legislative norms, and the militant Suffragettes who were happy to engage in riots, arson and even bombings.
