The date was November 2, 1920 in New Ashford Massachusetts. Phoebe Jordan awakened at 4 AM on the historic Tuesday morning donning her best Sunday dress. Why? She was headed to the polls to claim her rights and honor her responsibility as she was about to legally vote in a presidential election. It had been a long, arduous battle, fought by many, over a long time but the 19th Amendment had finally been passed. Phoebe was excited, arriving early at the polls, she was about to become the first woman to legally vote in a presidential election in the United States!
