I’d Stand Outside Your Door
I’d stand outside your door
In biting wind
In freezing snow
I’d stay there waiting
For you to be well, my dear
I’d be with you when you’re sad
I know you’re crying, it’s okay
I’d hold you tight
And whisper in your ear
That I love you, my dear

THE FIGHT FOR WOMEN
The idea that the only
true
woman was a pious
a submissive wife and mother,
concerned exclusively with home and family.
American women were individuals who deserved their own political identities.
Men
and women
are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator
with certain inalienable rights,
life
,
liberty
, and the
pursuit of happiness.
A new way of thinking
about what it meant to be a woman and a citizen in the United States.
A new generation.
WINNING THE VOTE AT LAST
On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised their right to vote for the first time.
