As the country prepares to celebrate the centennial of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which set the stage for women gaining the right to vote, scholar Sally Roesch Wagner is marking the anniversary by editing "The Women's Suffragette Movement." The anthology highlights the work of women who led the national campaign for voting rights.
Wagner joins River to River host Ben Kieffer to discuss the collection of writings and the importance of the suffrage movement today.
