IWPR President/CEO C. Nicole Mason Statement on 100 Years of Women's Suffrage

On Historic Day, We are Reminded of the Power of Women’s Vote and Leadership

"Today, we celebrate the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote. It was century’s long struggle led by courageous women of many different races and backgrounds who took to the streets and public square to fight for their rights, believing that voting and representation was critical to their full equality in the United States. For Black women, though, it would take another half century to realize their right to vote."
