Today's Story from Our Flag
... "Remember the Ladies" ...
... "Remember the Ladies" ...
On this 'Women to Honor Wednesday,' we recall when Abigail Adams, warned her husband, John Adams, and his fellow members of the Continental Congress, to not ignore the voice and rights of women. This alert was sent in a letter, dated March 31, 1776, and included the quote shown in the graphic below.
When translated for today's students and citizens, Abigail was telling the leaders of our young Country to:
... pay attention and give women the right to vote or they will stir-up a major protest ...
Unfortunately, the men of Congress did not listen and it took 145 years before women finally had the right to vote (via the 19th Amendment in 1920).
