A hundred and forty-four years after the founding fathers declared “All men are created equal,” women were still not allowed to vote. Consider who those White women were. They were the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of the White men in power. Even after so-called ‘‘winning suffrage’, women didn’t really enjoy equal opportunity. They won equal opportunity only after they have established their own GROUP political clout through organizations like NOW, Emily’s List, and so on. Power never yields, unless under demand.
