Translation
Bilingual
I want to raise up a glass
I want to bask in the light
Now our generation can make things right
Just think how much more we could do
We can finally finish the fight
What? (Alice)
Let's demand an amendment
Let's demand a brand-new amendment
Why stop at suffrage?
Why not push for complete legal equality?
We could call it something like the "Equal Rights Amendment"
Ooh, the E-R-A for short
That will fit better on banners
Doris, will you write this down?
For seven years I have served you
With the most humble affection
And unshadowed devotion
And I kept a record, as you said
Now I want to write my book about us
How can you write a book when there's still work to do?
So girls will grow up learning what we did
So they can learn how hard it was and never try again?
So they can learn how hard it was and know it can be done
Doris, let the record show, I'm proud of you
August 26th
Doris Stevens dedicates her forthcoming book to Alice Paul
As long as we're on the subject of next steps, I have news
I want to act on Broadway
For once, I want to do a thing that brings others joy
I want to represent my people on the greatest stage in America
And yes, that is what Ruza Wenclawska
Actually historically did after this
Look me up
