~I have, without a doubt, a love of photo's and a love of history.  So when the two come together as they have in the picture above...color me a happy camper!  Here's a handful of the women who made my future what it is today.  My rights assured because of their work.  Good on them!~

  1. Serena, that is one fabulous photo! Almost a hundred years ago. Wow! GOOD on them, absolutely. I've read a few of the suffragette's stories, and the way they were brutalized... I just have to wonder.

  2. Oh man, the suffragettes suffered unmercifully for their belief's and cause, yet still they did it. They were some strong women!
