I believe the right to vote as a women is one of the most important historical event that has positively shaped the future for my country and people because it started the progress of equality between genders. Even though we have sexism today, having the right to vote has helped shape the progress of having a country that benefits both genders. When the process began many women stood up to men an even their husbands which was very rare at the time. These brave women created many peaceful protests which caused awareness of the lack of rights women had at the time. Women were being arrested and attacked verbally and physically by people for speaking out about wanting to vote. This historic event started a new beginning for women in the united states and with out the effort of these women in 1920 I wouldn’t have the rights I have today.

It’s relevant to today because currently many people are arguing the right to have an abortion. As a women it’s important to have a vote on topics like this because men aren’t effected by abortions. If men were the only ones able to vote today many of my rights would be taken away, such as the right to have an abortion. In 2020 I’m happy I can make the decision for my own body and not males.
