Join us in commemorating the birthday of Rosalie Gardiner Jones. In December of 1912, over 200 women joined Rosalie for parts of a 140-mile march from New York City to Albany to support women's suffrage. During the march, the women stopped to hold open-air meetings and distribute pamphlets in communities along the way.
