Today, more than 68 million women vote in elections because of the courageous suffragists who never gave up the fight for equality. The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic centennial offers an opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. Our League of Women Voters of Kent County Maryland produced the video below which highlights the accomplishments of the LWV during the 100-year history of a dedicated organization. Thank you to all who made this possible!
