A special 3-part podcast series to mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

100 years ago this August, women finally won the right to vote . The Story Exchange explores the bruising battle for suffrage, the women who took up the fight, the women who are still fighting.
These are the stories that history often forgets. We haven't.
In the 3-part-series "100 Years of Power," we take a look at how the 19th Amendment challenged basically every aspect of existence as people knew it -- and started a fire that is still burning.
