It’s also a great lesson in the Women’s Suffrage Movement, if there are any history teachers out there (or just people who find that period in history interesting).

In case you weren’t aware, in 2020, citizens of the United States will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. That’s the amendment that gave women the right to vote in the USA.

Since I’m a school librarian in my day job, I hope to do some fun activities with my students regarding the celebration of this momentous occasion, in which American women first gained their right to vote.
