I am a day late but wanted to commemorate that yesterday, August 26, is the anniversary of the day in 1920 that the 19th Amendment went into effect. It gave women the right to vote in the United States. I named the post after an antique sign my mother gave me when I was in high school. It has hung in a prominent place in all of my dorm rooms and apartments since then as a reminder of how lucky I am not to be born back then, because, let’s face it, I would have been in jail on a hunger strike at some point in my life if I were.
