"We’ve put together a list of great picture books about figures in women’s history,"

"it's hard to imagine a time when women couldn't vote;
 realizing that they've had that right for less than 100 years is astounding. 

It's equally shocking when they learn that women had to fight for 72 years before the 19th Amendment — which stated that no citizen could be denied the right to vote on account of sex — became law. So it's imperative that we teach today's children about the struggle for women's suffrage, not just to honor the dedication and sacrifices of the women who led the Women's Suffrage Movement, but also to ensure that future generations don't take the right to vote for granted."
