Wholesale 19th Amendment Heroines Tea Towel

It was what gave women the right to vote in the United States: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." Thus runs the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate in 1919. It shouldn't be forgotten, of course, that in many parts of the US, black women (and men for that matter) still had a long way to go before they would be allowed to vote without hindrance. The 19th Amendment was a start in the process of enfranchisement, however. And some of the brave souls and pioneers whose fearless campaigning led up to this epoch-making advance are celebrated in our 19th Amendment Heroines tea towel.
