The Voice that Won the Vote: How One Woman's Words Made History
A vote is a voice This is what I believe in This is what I stand for This is what matters to me This is who I am
This is who I choose to lead my town my state my country
In 1920 women were still denied that voice For nearly seventy-five years they had organized meetings Marched in parades Carried signs And made speeches demanding their right to vote Say yes to suffrage they shouted They wore yellow roses Yellow means yes votes for women
But they were silenced Other voices drowned them out Troublemakers Uncivilized Female voters will surely cause chaos Women with a voice in politics Nonsense The only vote a woman needs is the vote to choose her husband
