I just realized 5 minutes ago..........

that my grandmother (my 86 year old mom's mom) was 25 years old before she could vote, she was born in 1895. I loved my grandma.

My late dad's mom was 27 before she could vote, she was born in 1893. I never met her.

In 3 generations we've gone from gaining the vote to being on the cusp of our first woman President.

2. My Great Aunt told me what it felt like when she knew she would be able to vote

She was 16. She remembers going with her Mom (my Great Grandmother) when she voted for the first time. She had very vivid memories of it even when she was near the end of her life.
