The womens suffrage movement forever changed the role of women In American society. It was the catalyst for lifting the status of women from one of disenfranchisement to free and equal partners in our Nations political. social. and economic systems. As beneficiaries of the womens suffrage movement in the United States. the gentlewoman from California and myself are both appreciative of all the contributions of the women of the historic movement. This body must work to acknowledge the contributions to our Nations history of all Americans. whether they were born male or female. free or slave. Native American or immigrant. Sojourner Truth was without equal. She must not be forgotten.
