In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, the Independent-Reporter is asking readers to share stories of significant women in their lives.

It can be a mother or another relative, a teacher, a neighbor — any woman who you admired and/ or influenced your life.

The stories do n’t have to be long, several hundred words or less.

Send them to indy@eaglecom.net or 304 N. Douglas Ave., Ellsworth, Kan. 67439

Information: 472-5085.
