In January 2017, more than 3 million women marched in DC and all over the world for human rights. A century earlier, in 1917, throngs of women marched in New York City carrying placards with over a million signatures for votes for women.
These suffragettes marched to the tune of “The March of the Women”, their national anthem written in 1910 by Ethel Smythe with words by Cicely Hamilton. The last lines are, "March, march, many as one. Shoulder to shoulder and friend to friend.” It was fun to imagine two such committed women, generations apart yet linking arms, each looking forward to a new world.
