My Grandmother was 115 years of age today, and in honor of her years as a suffragette, I dedicate this article to her!
My grandmother was a suffragette. And today is her birthday.
She’d be 115 today.
Her name was Amelia Loving.
I honor her memory this election season by raising my own consciousness regarding sexism in our society, especially rearing up now in the Clinton/Obama battle for the Presidency.
The term women’s suffrage refers to the economic and political reform movement aimed at extending suffrage ? the right to vote ? to women. The movement’s origins are usually traced to the United States in the 1820s.
