Jessica Michna created “Women Who Dared” for the 100th anniversary of 19th Amendment. “Cristabel and Emmeline Pankhurst, Susan B. Anthony, Emma Davisson, Elisabeth Cady Stanton; some names you may recognize, others you may not! These and other women (and men) championed the cause of women’s suffrage in this country and overseas in the late 19th and early 20th century. Protest jailings, victories, and defeats culminated with the signature of President Woodrow Wilson that would forever give women the right to vote.”
