(119,090 posts)1. EXACTLY!!! A battle that was fought for 72 years-1848 (Seneca Falls)
to final ratification of 19A in 1920, 144 years after the Declaration of Independence. Women fought, and died, for the right to vote. And there are fuckers, even in congress, who are currently openly discussing attempting to repeal 19A.
