My grandmother was 14 when the 19th Amendment was ratified. She always talked about how thrilled she was when it passed because she knew she would be able to vote when she turned 21.

One of my earliest memories is going w/ her when she voted. The polling place had a kid sized booth complete w/ the curtain. I got to go in, close the curtain and 'vote'

She marched for suffrage in Kansas. My father was a baby in a stroller and then a 3-4 year old walking with her. Up until the 1980s older members of the family talked about what a radical she was, and not with kindness or admiration.

She died around the time I was born so I didn't know her but I love her.
