Today is a day where you can really appreciate the people from the previous history who have given you all the rights we use everyday. Being a female, not everyone knows that the law was passed saying that women could vote was in 1920. There was a group of women who fought long and hard against the Goverment called the Women's Peace Party. How many know about the Women's Peace Party? There is only 1 paragraph in the text book I read out of about it. Don't you think getting to vote is a pretty big deal? Then why is there only ONE paragraphy about it in the text books kids learn out of these days. All I am trying to say is if you have a minute today, go on Google and you will find some truly amazing people and facts that you didn't know about. Not a lot of people get credit for what they do, so today is a day we can reflect on their awesome work!
