Hi Friend,

Tuesday, August 18, marks the centennial of women’s suffrage.

This is arguably the most important day in our history as women in America: when women won the right to vote after a decades-long fight.

Here are 3 ways you can commemorate and celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote:
  1. Read our “How to Talk to Your Kids About… the Centennial of Women’s Suffrage” teaching guide 
    -   We offer you useful fast facts, activity suggestions, and reading lists that can help inform children about this important part of history.
  2. Download your free copy of our commemorative book, The Women Who Won the Vote
    -   This commemorative book tells the stories of 12 of the suffragists.
    -   It was published by IWF Press and features a foreword by Ambassador Nikki R. Haley.
  3. Get some special-edition centennial swag 
    -   These make great gifts and keepsakes.
    -   Post or send us photos of you sporting your gear using #womensWONhundred! We’d love to see your photos!
I am honored to serve on the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission and to be a part of this momentous occasion. I am proud to lead Independent Women’s Forum and Independent Women’s Voice, sister organizations that are committed to advancing and enhancing women’s freedom, opportunities, and choices. And I am blessed to count you as a friend and supporter during this time.

Women have accomplished so much in the past 100 years, and we look forward to carrying the torch of the suffragists for the next 100 years.

Join us in celebrating the centennial, commemorating the suffragists’ strength and courage, and championing women in the days to come.

Thank you for all you do. As the suffragists have shown us, it takes all of us working together to create lasting and meaningful change.
