Womens' Suffrage - TODAY in HIStory August 26, 1920
OMIGOSH . . . today is even more important than National Dog Day.
Thank you Facebook for sending me this notice . . .
Hmmmmmm . . . wonder why National Dog Day was today . . .
when the REAL important day was the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Giving Women the "right" to Vote
It only took them 70 YEARS . . .
and I'm NOT making that up.
The Womens' Suffrage Movement began in 1848 . . . and then 70 YEARS later . . . I guess the males in the United States of America probably realized that the issue of giving women the "right" to vote just wouldn't go away.
Tell your daughters about this struggle for a very basic human right . . . TO VOTE!
Tell your sons . . . tell them that women in American had a long, hard fight and they DID NOT GIVE UP!
The 95th Anniversary . . .
Today marks the 95th Birthday of men letting the uppity females in society VOTE!
We all point our fingers at other countries . . . and yet . . . right here at home women COULD NOT VOTE until 1920. And yet . . .we lived here for . . . how long?
We crossed the Atlantic to "the New World"
We crossed the the plains.
Women worked just as hard as men did back in the day -- Oh, like it was ALL the Housewife's of Orange County bullshit back then?!?
. . . We died on this land . . .
And for as long as that, women weren't "allowed" to vote.
My Mother was born in 1927 . . . geez, only SEVEN years after the "right" to vote was given to women!
We've come a long way . . . baby!!
My hope for the day, and prayer, is that Women continue to round out this Nation . . . and don't let up.
