1132 Words5 Pages

Voting is a Right, Not a Privilege They protested, they were jailed, they were force fed, and they were tortured. They were the suffragettes. These women knew they deserved the right to vote just as much as the men of this country, and they fought for it. These women nearly died so that girls like myself can now make a difference. In the year 1920, the 19th amendment was passed, giving women all across America the right to vote in elections. America has come to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
