Amandla Stenberg, Sarah Paulson, and Hari Nef Channel Suffragettes in This Awesome Feminist Video

This inspiring video honors the suffragettes who made the feminism of today possible. 

In honor of the 96th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment on August 18th, Glamour brought together some of our favorite celebrities to quote the iconic suffragettes who fought for a woman’s right to vote. Out actor Sarah Paulson (Carol) kicks off the video with a Susan B. Anthony quote: "No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent."

Hari Nef, model and Transparent actor, quotes Elizabeth Cady Stanton, saying, "The history of the past is but one long struggle upward toward equality."[iframe https://giphy.com/embed/TbVKczBFwYSGY allowfullscreen="" class=^{{"giphy-embed"}}^ frameborder="0" height="421" width="750"]Model Iman, Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad, singer Ciara, and actor Genesis Rodriguez, also make appearances in the video. It’s awesome to see such a diverse group of women bringing visibility to feminism, and the inclusion of so many LGBT women makes us love this Glamour video even more.
