ballots and bread and roses and suffragettes

Alice Paul's "Jailed for Freedom Pin",
photographed at 
August, 2017.
(One of the most extraordinary museums I have visited).

Remembering that
100 years ago today the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified,
enfranchising (white) women and declaring for the first time
that they deserved all the rights and
responsibilities of citizenship.

Friends, let us not squander the legacy of the Suffragettes!

Be sure to plan ahead and find a way to
VOTE
in this mayhem.

Here's a sweet listen for the day...
Bread and Roses,
originated from a speech given by American women's suffrage activist Helen Todd.
