On August 26, 1920, Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the ratification of the 19th Amendment officially announcing women's right to vote.

When I began writing this blog post last night, the first woman to ever gain a majority party nomination for president, Senator Hillary Clinton, was onstage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. “My mother was born before women could vote. My daughter got to vote for her mother for president," Senator Clinton said.
