It’s 1913, thousands and thousands of women gather in Washington, D.C. They are
there to call for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to
vote. While the fight for suffrage has been going on for 60 years, this huge
parade, spearheaded by Alice Paul and the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, marks the first major national event for the movement.
For a family audience of all ages, this emotional story is told from the
perspective of the women who led the charge, and paved the way for the fight
for equality.
