King skillfully assisted American

Today, that right is virtually universal. Millions of men and women around the world today advocate to end violence against women, and a record two-thirds of countries have passed laws against it.” – Michelle Bachelet, UN Women Executive Director The battle for women’s suffrage in America lasted for 100 years or more

original women’s rights leaders had more on their agendas than just suffrage.
