Even The New York Times has picked up on the feisty British women who have a Suffragette Summer School scheduled for September 2012. A new generation of activists are looking to their suffrage tradition and history to propel themselves into motion. Is the suffrage movement a thing of the past? "No," they respond in a loud voice.
This side of the Atlantic there's not quite as much matching the enthusiasm and passion of linking the past with the present, although this is changing, especially during this election season.
Women are getting suffragette training a la Emmeline Pankhurst in Britain. The suffrage movement was about demanding the right to vote. There are still rights that as women we are entitled to, so there is still the need to demand and fight. Go UK suffragettes!
