100 years ago today...

On Monday, March 3, 1913 5,000 women marched together down Pennsylvania Avenue - united in the fight to achieve voting rights. In a fight that began in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848, the fight was long and hard. It wasn't until 7 years later that their hard work would finally pay off and women would earn the right to vote.

Check out more photos from the parade. Isn't is inspiring???
