Most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.
"The Privilege of Voting" is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote.
This is no boring history report. It's a real-life soap opera!
Two beautiful and extremely powerful suffragettes -- Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt and two gorgeous presidential mistresses.
There are tons of heartache for these heroines on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, they WIN!
Exciting, sequential 10-minute e-mail episodes are perfect for coffeebreaks, or anytime.
Be one of the few who know what it REALLY took to win!
