And Nothing Less: The Untold Stories of Women’s Fight for the Vote
"Men their rights and nothing more; women their rights and nothing less.” Written by suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women’s rights activists used this rallying cry to demand voting equality. But the suffrage movement included far more voices and perspectives than these two well-known names: throughout the fight for women’s right to vote, generations of diverse activists demanded full access to the ballot box. Hosts Rosario Dawson and Retta guide us through this seven-part series, bringing us the stories we didn’t learn in our history books. And Nothing Less is a production of the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission, the National Park Service, and PRX. It is the official podcast commemorating 100 years of the 19th Amendment and women's constitutional right to vote.

Matilda Joslyn Gage!

So glad this included overlooked women of colour and their allies like MJG! Matilda was the first Feminist to research overlooked women in history and the witch trials. BTW Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the actual author of the amendment, named the Anthony Amendment. Susan B didn’t give it that name, but she didn’t correct it. She also signed her name to published writing by Gage.
Thoughtful and educational

And I just love Retta and Rosario Dawson as our guides in this. Feel so much smarter and appreciative for the women who came before me and the path ahead of us.
Searched for Retta; Stayed for Rosario
