This court case was between Mr and Mrs Reed over control of their dead son's estate. Because of an old Illinois Law that stated that "males must be preferred to females" in matters of the law, Mrs Reed would have lost the case.

Women determined the outcome of the 2012 election, but new voting restrictions in 22 states could disproportionally impact women.

Nobody called Susan B. Anthony a " Beyoncé voter" or implored Elizabeth Cady Stanton to bypass the polls and "get back on Tinder or Match.com." Granted, they couldn't. But our women's suffrage foremothers didn't take shit from anybody, and we shouldn't either.
