On 6th October I got two postcards: one from the USA and one from Germany.
The card from the USA shows a map of the country highlighting those states that already introduced the Women's Suffrage by 1915. The first state to introduce the Women's Suffrage was Wyoming in 1869. Just with the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 all women in the USA got the right to vote. I really like this illustration!
To celebrate the Centenary of the Nineteenth Amendment a stamp was issued on 26th August 2020. Two of these stamps together with some grapes were used on the card. Interestingly 50 years earlier in 1870 the Fifteenth Amendment introduced the Black Suffrage. I wonder why no stamp was issued for that anniversary as well. Together they would have made a great set in an election year like this.
Thank You very much Jaime!
