Happy 90th birthday, 19th Amendment! And thank you, Miss Anthony and Mrs. Catt and Miss Mott and the thousands of nameless women and men who fought for 72 years for a woman's right to vote. Thanks to you, I voted in my state's primary on Tuesday. Thanks largely to you, I am no longer chattel. I can go to college. I can keep my children in a divorce. I can inherit property. I can own property, not be it.
