Over a hundred years ago on October 23, 1915, 25,000 – 40,000 women marched in New York City demanding the right to vote. Among the arguments against women’s voting rights were all-male voting was designed by the founding fathers and women shouldn’t be dragged into dirty politics. The women’s march was the largest parade New York City had seen at that point in time. Finally, on June 4, 1919, Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment. It was ratified August 18, 1920. I like the idea of remembering this date. It shows some of the difficulty women faced in the early stages of the Women’s Rights Movement.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
