"Suffrage: A Fierce Fight for Equality and Empowerment" In the early 20th century, a wave of change swept through society as women fought tirelessly for their right to vote. Like a suffragette cat with claws sharpened, they scratched and fought against the oppressive forces that denied them their basic rights.

Through it all, one message rang clear: "I Want My Vote.
