Women victory




Votes for women were first seriously proposed in the United States in July, 1848, at the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. One woman who attended that convention was Charlotte Woodward. She was nineteen at the time. In 1920, when women finally won the vote throughout the nation, Charlotte Woodward was the only participant in the 1848 Convention who was still alive to cast her vote. Eighty-one years old, she cast her vote proudly.

I think that "women victory" was an important historic moment because it was the proof that women did't stop fighting for their rights and it had a positive impact in our society, because nowadays all citizens can vote which means that actualy we can choose who represents us.
