Even as American women won the right to vote in 1920, they could do none of these things on their own.

The centerfold illustration, called “The Awakening” and drawn by Henry Mayer, depicts Lady Liberty, with the slogan "Votes for Women" emblazoned on her tunic, awakening the nation to women’s desire for suffrage, walking across the already-enfranchised American West, toward the East, where women were reaching up, clamoring to be saved by her.

Seneca Falls. New York. July 1848. Wesleyan Chapel. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Lucretia Mott. "A convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman." This brief description of the "world-shaking" event was sent to the local newspapers advertising the first women's right's convention. The convention lasted two days and took place over six sessions, offering presentations, lectures, and multiple discussions about the role of women in society. The result was a document that would serve as the foundation of women's rights in the United States and fuel a movement that would culminate in the ratification of the 19th...
