In the early part of the 1900s, many women began a battle.  A battle to win the right to vote in elections.  Before then, women were supposed to stay home and wait on their husbands.  But Susan Elizabeth's mother wanted more than that.  She wanted to be able to have a voice in the future of her country.  And she was willing to do what was necessary to get it.
