The work of activists Alice Paul, Nina Allender and Ida Wells had great impact on American society in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Perfect for the home or office of strong women, this set of magnets of three trailblazing American women make a great gift.

In 1915, American women were pushing for equal rights, particularly the right to vote in national elections. They lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Finally, Congress passed on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment, which guarantees all American women the right to vote. The Nineteenth Amendment Joint Resolution of Congress and many other records related to women’s equal rights are preserved and protected in the National Archives.
