Stories of powerhouse women who pushed for justice in politics, medicine, art, music, religion, tribal leadership, and more.
In fighting to pass the 19th Amendment, brave suffragists like Susan B. Anthony and Emmeline B. Wells fought to end laws and take down barriers that prevented them from voting.
