The Long Journey

















It has been quite a long journey for women;from men opposing women's suffrage to present day, Hillary Rodham Clinton, a women, running for presidency. Men at that time thought that if women were granted suffrage or, the right to vote " it would be the first step for women who demanded FREEDOM and POWER in their attempts to change HOME and MARRIAGE." Most people probably never thought that it would have come down to this point, that a women would be a candidate to become president. The protesting and the women's suffrage leaders, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony made a very big difference for women, their efforts allowed women to vote. If they weren't the ones who stepped up to plate and put all that they had into their demonstrations and works we, as women would never be able to reach where we are now.
