|
Introduction: The fight for women’s suffrage was a literal war of words, petitions, rallies, and hunger strikes. Who were these great women who fought so valiantly for a right they felt all citizens of this great nation should have? What did they do for their cause? How did they suffer? What was the eventual outcome of their work? All of these questions, and more, can be answered through the following activity.
