I am taking the next two days off to pray, to contemplate and to give thanks for the women who risked their families, their comforts and their very lives to ensure that all women were granted the right to vote. Thank you, thank you, and again thank you to our most courageous fore bearers, The Ladies of Seneca Falls. Thank you also to Miriam Gurko who so brilliantly documents their struggles in her classic tome, "The Ladies of Seneca Falls."
I have a post up tomorrow on the same topic. Can't believe we're only two generations removed from suffrage. (My grandmother was born without the right to vote.) I continue to be enormously grateful for those who came before us.
