It makes you wonder sometimes, if hardly anyone within the masses of America understands what it is now. What was it like then. For those feminist leaders who came up with the idea, fought the for the idea and made it go through, who were they fighting for. Certainly not the majority.
Its funny cause even though it is always like that, every movement claims to fight for a moral right that is overcast over the population, even the population itself does not care. Strange place to be.
I think the stangest part is that today, most people agree in the Western world that female suffarge is an undeniable need, and they continue to push it on other cultures. However in the Western world so many women still don't care to vote, or even know the definition. It is as if everything those women in the past fought for has been forgotten completely.
It's just one of the typical examples of being human. We think we want something, we get involved, and then when we don't really need it anymore, we don't even care enough to remember what we fought for.
