Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

DID YOU KNOW...
DID YOU KNOW...
A Woman Was Elected to Congress Before Women Could Vote
Jeanette Rankin
A woman was elected to the U.S. Congress before women could even vote. Jeanette Rankin joined Congress in 1916, which was four years before women could
actually vote. The 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote
wasn't passed until August 18th, 1920.
Briefly went over to Wikipedia and glance of her life. Sound like an interesting person. Her Republican party of her day, sure changed. Coffee is on and stay safe
Most women could not vote in her day, but they could in Montana. The Western states were more progressive, obviously (they were also more liberal in allowing reasons for divorce).

Thanks for your response. It caused me to go to Wikipedia also and learn a lot more about this brave woman.
DeleteI didn't know this.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
I guess we never have had a reason to know it. Good to learn.
DeleteI didn't know. She must have been a brave, determined and sometimes lonely woman.
ReplyDeleteGreat response. For any woman to be great she has to be lonely.
DeleteDid not know. What a trail blazer. Skipped over to Wikipedia to check her out. Amazing life she left. Thanks for steering me.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteAlways good to learn something new.
DeleteI didn't know that. Very weird world we live in. Neat to learn this stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat is an understatement about this being a weird world.

ReplyDeleteWe need more like her now.
Interesting. I wonder if she had any part in the change that allowed women to vote. Good for her.
ReplyDeleteWe have to believe she pushed hard for that to happen.
DeleteIt seems that we are still far from finished.... And, I didn't know that!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely far from finished.
DeleteWow, I did not know that. So many female leaders have paved this long and lonely road.
ReplyDeleteSome of the brave ones are still trying. Who are they?
DeleteInteresting fact
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteWow that is amazing, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteIt just boggles my mind that at one time men didn't think women were able to make good enough decisions to give them the right to vote.
ReplyDeleteAnd sadly it is still a struggle...
DeleteGlad to share this information.
