“American women first voted in a national election on November 2, 1920, Ursula's birth year. Ursula's younger daughter's birth date is November 2, 1960, so it's easy for both of them to remember the very day that women got the vote. Ursula has seen a lot of changing times and believes that the present, even with its imperfections, yields the best possibilities yet. That's why she's voting for Hillary Clinton -- for a better future!”
