Description from 2GreytHounds: 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which finally granted women the right to vote (it was ratified by the states the following year, making it official). American suffragettes wore sashes of purple, white, and gold. (in Britain they wore purple, white, and green--remember the "Sister Suffragettes" song sung by Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins?) They also held rallies and parades, protested at the White House, and were the subjects of derision and hostility. Nevertheless, they persisted and won all American women the right to cast their ballots and make their voices heard.

MH says:Hooray for Women on International Womens Day (and what would have been my moms 96th birthday, she made it to 93- not quite to the 100th year anniversary. But she was a voter as we all should be!)

Granny Nancy says:A wonderful tribute to all women. I’m thrilled to see these young women who are new representatives in Congress. Thank you for reminding us about this special celebration. In particular, we should also think about all the work and courage it took to fight for these rights. And, being a purple lover, these grouping of colors are really right ON!

Kathryn R says:So sorry I missed this! Hurray for your pick-an awesome celebration and homage to all the brave women who endured derision, (even by other women!), imprisonments and even torture, simply because od their conviction that women had a right to full citizenship. This is a beautiful POD. Congratulations!
