One Hundred Years Ago, the First Five Women Ever to Vote at a National Convention Were Delegates in Denver

One hundred years ago, the first five women ever to vote at a national convention were delegates in Denver. This year, we celebrate another milestone: for the first time ever, the majority of delegates are women.

To the 2,170 women delegates: this is our convention. To women across America: this is our party. And to all Americans: Barack Obama is our candidate to deliver the change we need.

I am proud to be joined by my distinguished women colleagues of the United States House of Representatives who are working for America's working women. They will share the stories of women around our country who all agree that our country can't afford more of the same.
