Chicago has always been a city of changemakers, and the fight for voting rights is no exception. This Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate 106 years of the 19th Amendment and honor the Chicago suffragists who helped pave the way. Their fight for progress lives on, inspiring Chicagoans to use their voices to create lasting change.
