- I was raised by my maternal grandmother.
She was born in 1906,
before women had the right to vote.
And in 1998, she had a chance to vote for her granddaughter
to become a member of Congress.
We need to celebrate the centennial
of the women's right to vote
because we need to take stock of how far we've come,
but also remember how far we have yet to go.
