(11,589 posts)1. I'm really glad you posted this.
So many people don't understand how hard fought out rights have been, and how easily what rights we do have can be taken away.
I am off to share this where others can see.

If they were members of the "upper" class or came from all walks of life, etc.

I appreciate this important history lesson and am fully awakening to the historic struggle for women's voting rights. Learning of the brutality these women faced is shocking to me.

even though they were not documentaries. The true history of women's fight to win the vote is drenched in blood.
