When's the women's heritage trail going to get off the ground?

[Leona1222]

A whole lot of work and a whole lot of fun that the history books can't even imagine.

[MarcoNadel]

I hear there's a suffrage centennial celebration in March of this year in Washington, DC. Are you going?

[Haydee John]

The personal stories of these brave women are much more compelling than I could have ever imagined.

Hey, if learning about Votes for Women had been this fun in school, I might have studied to be a history teacher.

[SofiaHoban88]

Am looking forward to all the material you can gather up on this subject. I'm doing my mid term paper on these brave persistent activists.

[Bruce2012ish]

I've watched all your videos on this news channel, and I'll watch as many as you can produce.

[Ramon Olivarez]

Wouldn't mind if you had more on the suffragette movement in England.
