On August 26, 1920 the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution was signed, finally giving women the right to vote! The amendment was first introduced in 1878. In 1971, Congresswoman Bella Abzug introduced legislation celebrating this day.How fitting that as we celebrate 88 years of women having the vote, the woman who has come closest to leading this nation will take the stage tonight at the Democratic National Convention. I'm proud of the accomplishments of Sen. Hillary Clinton, and look forward to hearing what she has to say.
