WHEREAS, American women from all walks of life have served as leaders in the forefront of every major movement to restore and safeguard the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.  They have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements to create a just society for all.
