Dolly Parton Sings about "Women's Right to Vote" - the 27th Amendment

There's a new album out that has songs about the 27 Amendments to the Constitution, and one of the songwriters and performers is my favorite: Dolly Parton. She chose to write a song about the 27th Amendment: Women's rights to vote. The song is so well-done and has so many facets of the struggle. Listen and watch below, and then learn more about the album below that.
