The Suffragettes

Elisa Bieg

This tiny little Penguin Classic actually contained a surprising amount of information, including letters, articles, speeches and bills of law, all focused on the time during and after the fight for women’s vote.

Some of it made me cringe, some of it made me mad, and most of it made me feel incredibly proud to even belong to the same gender of the brave women who went through SO much to gain one more step towards equality for all of us!!

Such an incredible achievement, I am in awe and inspired, and more determined than ever to show people why feminism is still needed, and why we need to push for equal rights even when we have already achieved them 
  for ourselves 
, but know that not everyone has. 

This is how we pay it forward — what we have now, achieved through hard work and determination by those who came before us — by standing up and speaking up for those who can’t speak for themselves ✊🏼✊🏼💜💜💜💜
