100 years ago, on June 4, 1919, the U.S. Congress passed the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote.

Excited to receive an AI-generated story from @[email protected]’s coding/fiction wizardry, esp. given this sneak preview of the map that was created to accompany the story. (My brain has already generated a story about the Great Rois-Copompsland Compromise.)
