She Votes!

Sisterhood is not always powerful

Episode Summary

Throughout the battle for the ballot, suffragists often faced unlikely -- but powerful -- opponents: anti-suffragists, women who fought to keep other women from the polls. But this was hardly the only gender-based rift the suffrage movement faced. Lynn and Ellen explore what happens when sisterhood fails.
