Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment ratifications!  When Abigail Adams begged her husband to "remember the ladies" in drafting a new code of laws, John wrote back that he "could not but laugh" at her extraordinary suggestion.  Less than 150 years later, women were working, voting, and experiencing the first taste of freedoms unheard of just a generation earlier. This lecture traces the exciting early social and historical milestones in the fight for women's rights.
