"These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. " Abigail Adams
I can't let the day go by without noting that on this date 90 years ago the 19th amendment to the constitution- guaranteeing the right of women to vote- was finally passed after decades of struggle by thousands of brave (if you have never heard of Alice Paul, you must click here) and determined women. I'm grateful to be a beneficiary of their work and hope that all women can continue to work together until true equality for all is achieved-- for ourselves and for the world our sons and daughters will inherit.
