Exchange Exemplar: The Words Of The People In The Women's Suffrage Movement

Members of the women's suffrage movement prepare to march on New York's Wall Street in 1913, armed with leaflets and slogans demanding the vote for women.

Recent moves by state legislatures remind us not to take voting for granted. It took a long time for some of us to even get the right to vote in the first place.

In the case of American women, the work went on for most of a century. The voices of that time are collected in the book The Women's Suffrage Movement, edited by Sally Roesch Wagner.

She joined us around the 100th anniversary of the congressional vote on the 19th Amendment, and we return to the interview here.
