NCC's 19th Amendment exhibit explains how women won the right to vote

INDEPENDENCE MALL (WPVI) -- The National Constitution Center's 19th Amendment exhibit explains how women won the right to vote.

It starts in 1848 with the Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls and there's a rare copy of the Declaration of Sentiments written up by the ladies.

You can see the tactics they used to win public favor, join the parade for suffrage and see a jailhouse pin with a heart padlock that was gifted to the women arrested for fighting for their rights.
