We need to know more about what women have done, so we realize what women CAN do.
Now that the 2008 election and its historic high turnout is history, there is much greater appreciation for the privilege of voting.
But most people don't realize that out of 44 American presidents, only the last 15 were elected by men AND women.
Until 1920 women were denied the vote, and few people have any idea of the struggle our suffragettes had to go through to right this wrong. It's an amazing, awe-inspiring story!
