Suffragists fought to protect children.
“We
have in Colorado, the most advanced laws of any state in the Union for the care
and protection of the home and the children.
These laws, in my opinion, would not exist at this time without the
powerful influence of woman suffrage.”
Quote from Judge Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile Court in 1904. Colorado granted women the right to vote in 1893!
Our celebration begins on Thursday! Please join us!!!
Well, that makes me proud of my state!
