Remember When: The Day 25,000 Women Took Over Fifth Avenue

25,000 women marched up Fifth Avenue in New York City, demanding the right to vote.

It was the largest suffrage parade the country had seen. Women wore white. Crowds lined the streets. And the message was simple: We deserve a voice.

No microphones. No social media. Just footsteps, signs, and unstoppable resolve.

At a time when power was tightly held by a few, these women stood tall—risking ridicule, rejection, even arrest—to demand what should’ve never been denied.

Thousands marched that day—but their footsteps carried millions. They marched for every woman who came after.

And now, it’s our turn.

🗳️ When we vote, we honor them.
✊ When we organize, we continue their fight.
💬 When we speak up, we remind the world: we’re still here—and we’re not going anywhere.

Our vote is our power.
And we carry the legacy of every Leading Lady who walked before us.
