90 years ago today women got the right to vote.
When election time rolls around, nothing gets my Irish up like an indifferent person – especially a woman - who doesn’t exercise her right to vote.
It took a lot of moxie, smarts and guts for women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony to stand up for their rights – which are now our rights.
We get to pull the lever, punch a card, raise a hand, have our say because of the bravery and fortitude of these women.
Worth remembering today.
