Just a little sorta related look ahead on this special night

[Stinky The Clown]

On August 18 ..... the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

90 years!

Won by a bunch young, angry idealists (some might say malcontents, haters, or whatever the chide du jour is) willing to go against the establishment and the political parties in power.

Would they be treated any different today than they were then? I doubt it highly.

Keep fighting for what you know to be the right thing.

1. Just in case....

The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits each state and the federal government from denying any citizen the right to vote because of that citizen's sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920.

YOU GO GIRL.

2. Yes, it just amazes me that there are still women alive

that can remember their mothers not having any legal rights...only 90 years in a nation that is 234 years old. I was a long time coming...But thanks to women that starved themselves, stood in front of the White House and got spat on and harrassed, we can now own property, bank, work etc. without a husband's signature. Geez, I can remember in my lifetime - in 1970 a banker telling me I needed my husband's signature to open an account. (If I had been single - no problem, but if you were married, the husband had to be aware of your account. I guess they thought women were robbing their husbands blind.)

3. My mother was fired for getting a divorce in 1962.

Her husband who worked at the same company worked there until his retirement in the early 80s.

Still a lot to do and ancient history isn't really all that ancient.

4. As I'm reminded every day

seeing repeats daily...
