When Men Legally Controlled Women

But I'm glad for the progress we have made allowing marriage to bring emotional and sexual satisfaction to both partners and allowing them to leave when it doesn't. I cherish the increased equality for people of all races, genders, and sexual orientations we have gained in the century since women got the vote.

All that, of course, is under siege.

I don't want to make America "great again" as it was in the past -- I want to continue making it better in the future. We can do that by keeping the best traditions of the past while still identifying how to "form a more perfect union" in the years to come.

We've come a long way in the last century since the passage of the 19th Amendment. As anyone watching our current fights can tell you, we have a lot to lose. But if we fight, how much more can we achieve in another 100 years?
