## Resource

As we celebrate 250 years of the Declaration of Independence, it’s shocking that women’s history still isn’t required in Vermont schools—leaving a massive part of American history erased. That gap sparked the youth-led movement Her Education Required, which began in 2025 with just a few students but has since grown into the largest youth-driven women’s rights network in the state—and even reached international audiences in Singapore and Kenya. Omitting women’s history isn’t just incomplete—it undermines the core American ideal of ordinary people rising up to demand justice. While the 19th Amendment granted women the vote in 1920, decades of resistance followed. Celebrating freedom without acknowledging how women fought to claim it is a disservice to the nation’s promise. Ignorance of suffragists’ sacrifices—like chaining themselves to fences and enduring beatings—can have real consequences. That’s why advocates are pushing for permanent institutions like the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, proving that learning this history isn’t optional—it’s essential.
