"I waited 96 years"

Check out this wonderful website:
American women lacked the right to vote until August 18, 1920, when the final state ratified the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Now thousands of women born before that date are proudly casting their ballots for the candidate they hope will become our first woman president.
Witnesses to a century of history, these voters are an essential reminder of our nation’s possibilities as we strive to form a more perfect union.
The site currently profiles voters from more than half the states (see map), and we hope to include all fifty. Click on the photos to read their inspiring words.
If you're looking for some inspiration, click over and take a look at the lives these ladies have led!
They're all voting for the first woman president of course. And it's a powerful, powerful moment for half the population.
