It is hard to believe that my great-grandmother was born during a time when women had to fight for their right to vote. From the time that the United States was born in 1776, women led a suffrage movement where they dared to challenge the suffocating grip of their societal norms, fueled by their burning desire for equality. It is the unyielding spirit of these suffragists that inspire young women like me to chase after dreams with courage and determination.
