One hundred years ago, the 19th Amendment promised American women the right to vote, in what was supposed to be the culmination of a hard-fought women’s rights movement. But millions of Black, Latina, Asian-American, and Native American women were held back by race-based laws like poll taxes, literacy tests, and voter intimidation for decades to come. On the anniversary of the 19th, we’re chatting with Mikki Kendall, author of Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot, about the present-day threats to women’s suffrage and how women in positions of power can leverage their influence to protect and lift up more marginalized women—in the words of the NACW.
