Check out this podcast series from Humanities New York. "Amended" talks about important but under-recognized women who fought injustice based on race, citizenship status, and class, in addition to advocating for the rights of their s*x.

S*x was never the only battleground for women’s voting rights. Amended, a podcast from Humanities New York, marks the centennial of the 19th Amendment by challenging the suffrage story most Americans learn in school.
