Girls just wanna have fun(damental human rights)! And finally, on the 26th of August, 1920, women in the United States of America got them, when the 19th Amendment was certified by the US Secretary of State and women were granted the right to vote. This tea towel is based on a poster produced in the same year, designed to be placed in a window so that passers-by would know that the resident had exercised her new-found right and registered the vote.

On 2nd of November that same year, more than 8 million women across the country assumed their responsibility of citizenship and voted in elections for the first time.
