Description

Grab your sashes and your most determined walking shoes—it's time to join one of the longest, fiercest, and most inspiring battles in American democracy. In this episode, we march alongside the women who refused to be sidelined: from polite petitioners to street-savvy protestors, from suffragists in long skirts to hunger strikers who shocked the nation. It's a story of strategy, setbacks, spectacular perseverance, and the simple but revolutionary idea that half the population probably ought to have a say in its government. By the time the 19th Amendment arrives, you'll wonder how it ever took so long.
