Did you get to see "Iron Jawed Angels" a few years ago? It showed what our ancestresses went through to overcome male prejudice.

I didn't realize 72 years passed before a woman could vote in 1920. <br />I believe I would not be a good member of an advocacy group. I'd give up too easily, probably. This makes me feel honored and proud of those who made it possible. They deserve our greatest admiration.<br />Well done.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-906560420669208402012-10-24T14:42:29.712-05:002012-10-24T14:42:29.712-05:00Good post, Lauri.

I mailed in my ballot a few day ago.<br /><br />And I hear ya, Caroline. Running unopposed never seems to have a "No" area.

I have my choice this year, and voted yesterday in early voting. There were a couple of areas where I would have liked to have written in Mickey Mouse for people I opposed who were running unopposed. ☺ Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
