VOTES FOR WOMEN
Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.11-12.9, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.SL.1
Dear Future Friends, If you are reading this then it has been over 100 years since the day that I packed away this box. Congratulations on finding it. You do not know me, but I have labored many years now on behalf of the fight for women’s right to vote. Now that day has finally come! Hurrah! It is August 18, 1920 and the 19th amendment was finally ratified. Oh, how long we have hoped and fought for this day. I left this box to remember and celebrate this moment with you. In this box, I have locked away the secret truth about our fight for equality. But I was afraid that some Antis or other unsavory types would seek to destroy our progress and the box before you could find it. So I carefully locked it with a series of encrypted puzzles so that only supporters of suffrage and true believers in equality, like you, would be able to open it. Will you be clever enough to unscramble my puzzles? Will you discover the true secret to our success in the fight for women’s right to vote? Best regards, Sarah
