A Tribute to Womanhood

Welcome to "I Am Woman"...a tribute to all those women who had the courage and perseverance to stand up and fight for their rights. Thanks to those who came before us we enjoy a freedom unknown to women not too long ago. But, sadly, in many parts of the world, women continue to be repressed. In fact, even in this country there are women living today under the threat of violence...completely controlled by a violent spouse. Some may make it; others won't. Hopefully, one day ALL women will be free. May that day come soon.

Suffragettes

What amazing women!   Without them, where would we be today. 

Suffragettes parading with banner "President Wilson favors votes for women". N.Y.C. ca.1916



America's first suffragette parade, marched up Broadway to Union Square, New York City, February 1905. The image shows men gathering to hear the suffragettes speak.
