Women in History: Did You Know?

Thursday, March 7, 2013

One hundred years ago, led by suffragette Inez Mulholland riding a white horse, more than 5,000 women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., to advocate for women gaining the right to vote.

This past Sunday, March 3rd, a 100^th Anniversary March, led by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, started at the U.S. Capitol and retraced the original march and featured women in period costumes. Women, men and children were invited to join this anniversary celebration for women’s rights.

Jill Moss Greenberg, the Executive Director of the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center shared this photo and report:

“There were thousands marching for Delta Sigma Theta, from almost every state. Even Hawaii and the Philippines were included, as were Germany, Korea, and others. It was very powerful.

After all of the Delta chapters had marched, the other women’s organizations followed. This included women from Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta, as well as the National Organization of Women, the National Council of Negro Women, Sewall-Belmont House & Museum, Vision 2020, the National Women’s History Museum, and the National Women’s History Project.

Margaret Zierdt, at 91, deserves very special recognition for marching. She so represents the spirit of the National Women’s History Project – and all of us at the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center!”

Every one of them…. amazing women.
