__ WE WANT A VOTE! __  We the women deserve the right to have a say in who runs our country. What is stopping us? We plan to fight until we get our amendment. We can endure our suffrage longer than any man and we should be rewarded for it.We deserve the same rights as anyone else because we are all protected by the same constitution. This fight will endure until we get fair treatment.
