    VOTE!!!!

    How many realize that women didn't get the right to vote until 1920. I didn't look up the exact dates but it took nearly 100 years for the suffragette movement to succeed in getting women voting rights.

    My great grandmother died in 1936. That means she got to vote in 4 presidential elections. My grandmother was 37 when she cast her 1st vote. The women in my family saw voting as an important civic duty. I remember how excited my mom and grandmother were the day I voted for the 1st time.

    If you're not excited about the candidates or issues vote to honor the women who worked so hard to give us the privilege, many of whom never enjoyed that privilege themselves.
