A century ago, some women argued against women voting, fearing it would change family life and that women lacked political knowledge. This debate shaped how we see women in politics today.

«As religious groups lobbied for a “Christian Amendment” to the Constitution in the late 19th century to make the United States an explicitly Christian nation, Gage feared that all government legislation could become subject to a church doctrine litmus test.…Gage rallied marginalized groups to unite against a common foe. A similar emphasis is necessary today…»

Hype for the Future 25H: Does Heteronormativity Result in Capitalism?
Technically, no, heteronormativity does not result in capitalism, nor does the situation occur vice versa. However, if capitalism is not caused by heteronormativity, then what causes it? There could be a few different answers, but perhaps the most commonly recognized one would just be that patriarchy forces traditional gender roles to be enforced rigidly, and since masculinity is associated with dominance and femininity with submission, the masculine energy causes the economic model of the […] -

"In #Switzerland, #women gained the right to #vote in federal #elections in 1971; but in the canton of #AppenzellInnerrhoden women obtained the #rightToVote on local issues only in 1991, when the canton was forced to do so by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland."

So my wife is considering changing her name back to her maiden name..I support this and think its crazy this is what she needs to do to ensure she can vote.
Its a pain and a hassle and is going to cost money we should be saving to afford luxuries like eggs for our family.

I gather many white women didn’t read the fine print, or believed the orange joker that he wasn’t associated with Project 2025. 🙄

"Votes for Women," Bertha Margaret Boyé, 1911.
There's not much information about Boyé (1883-1930) except that she was a California native who entered this as part of a competition to design a poster to help for the campaign for women's suffrage in California. The Art Nouveau/Arts and Crafts style is lovely, and that's the Golden Gate behind her, so it makes it a uniquely Californian image. And California gave women the vote in 1911, so the poster was successful.
This appears to be her only notable work; she died at the age of 47 in Europe, having gone there to continue her studies.
From the Arthur & Elizabeth Schlesinger Library, Cambridge, MA.

Susan B. Anthony is the suffragist who gets the attention, but I most admire Dr. Alice Stokes Paul, Sojourner Truth, & Lucretia Coffin Mott. They have my gratitude when I vote. I encourage learning about these remarkable women; this post focuses on Alice Paul, who died in 1977 (when I was in high school!) Learn about her at these websites:

Today in 1893, #NewZealand became the first country to grant all women the right to vote.
That's pretty cool. This is probably unfair of me, but New Zealand isn't really a country I normally associate with "firsts". Mind you, that's probably how most people would describe South Africa, and we have lots of firsts (first heart transplant, being the most significant I can think of right now).

Musical Interlude: A few years ago, jazz artiste Karrin Allyson released an interesting concept album, "Shoulder to Shoulder," a tribute to the centennial of women's suffrage. It featured modern versions of suffragist songs, and readings of speeches by different figures of the movement, including Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. While some feel it's a miss, I like it. Here's a track.
"She's Good Enough to Be Your Baby's Mother," performed by Karrin Allyson.

So here’s a fun fact. In the US women got the right to vote in 1920. So that made them full citizens, right? Well, turns out there was a 1907 law called the Expatriation Act (repealed 1940) that said that if a woman married a non-citizen immigrant she lost her citizenship and would have to apply for naturalization when he became eligible. Also, married women could only vote under their husband’s surname (until 1975). #patrilineality #citizenship #womenssuffrage
