Shirley was 5 years old when women won the right to vote. Today, she's rooting for the first woman president.
Shirley Skinner has seen a lot.
Shirley, celebrating her 100th birthday.
Born in 1915five years before most women could legally vote in AmericaShirley has lived through the Great Depression, two world wars, the Civil Rights Movement, and the moon landing.
In that time, shes seen incredible progress in America. And today, Shirley is rooting for something she never thought shed live to see: the first woman president of the United States.
And last week, when Hillary Clinton earned enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, Shirley was beside herself with excitement.
