This week marked 100 years since the 19th amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote. Full electoral equality was still decades away, but Aug. 18, 1920 is still a major milestone in U.S. women's history.
To celebrate, The Post and Courier interviewed 19 women from around South Carolina. We talked with women in politics and business, activists and thought leaders.
This week on the podcast, we were joined by managing editor Autumn Phillips, who was one of the interviewers for the series, called "We the Women," to pick out some of the highlights.
We selected clips from seven of the interviews for this episode. You'll hear how Post and Courier editor Barbara Williams used to file her copy, why Dr. Mary Thornley of Trident Technical College says she'll never take the right to vote for granted and what Queen Quet of the Gullah/Geechee Nation thinks of this recent period of protests in America.
Listen now to find out.
