Do you hear the sound of marching hooves? Do you hear the roaring bleat of a voice raised for equality? Dolores is on the move. Never one to shy away from a tough fight, she’s dressed up in Sassy Suffragist Ensemble designed by Franklin Habit to pay tribute to one step on the long road to justice for all: the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States–one short century ago. In theory, it gave American women the right to vote. Still, it left a great deal of unfinished business: women of color, even though they had fought for the cause under redoubtable leaders like Mary Church Terrell, Ida B. Wells, and Mabel Ping-Hua Lee were still excluded from the franchise.
