After that conversation it made me think about a ton of other things which lead to the vote. <BR/>Anyway its a great piece and I'm glad you shared it with us. <BR/><BR/>I was raised more like a tomboy, then became more lady like. LOL <BR/>I know manual labor (use to load trucks for a living)but I so appreciate being a woman and have the doors opened for me. Solie loves to treat me like a lady and I let him do it. <BR/><BR/>Word: Weakend <BR/><BR/>If we didn't have women voting, that's the state we would be in, weakend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140795453183769392.post-64235348838409633942008-10-25T03:31:00.000-04:002008-10-25T03:31:00.000-04:00I love how described how we're all made! If everyo...I love how described how we're all made! If everyone were blind we'd truly all be the same!<BR/><BR/>The following question is being asked because I wonder back in 1920 when women were initially given the right to vote, if the men'folk treated them differently.. and how it applies to someone like me today.<BR/><BR/>I was born in the hills of West Virginia. Daddy always encouraged me to be a lady, and to carry myself as one. So I guess I'm a bit conflicted. I've been on my own, raising my two children for the last 15 years. I've had to be Mother, and Father. If something was going to get done, I did it. This of course makes me quite independent, and strong. Yet I still like the differences between a man and a woman. I still want to be treated as a lady.. having my door opened and the likes. So in this age of women being so dominate, is it wrong for me to want a man who will still be what I grew up knowing a man to be (and allow me to be the only woman I know how to be)?Angie ^i^https://www.blogger.com/profile/05424050133329261515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140795453183769392.post-46649697048691205612008-10-25T03:09:00.000-04:002008-10-25T03:09:00.000-04:00Sometimes it's a bit shameful to think that it too...Sometimes it's a bit shameful to think that it took us so long to figure out that we truly are all made of the same stuff. Arranged differently, perhaps, but ... essentially and certainly inellectually, the same. To put it into perspective for myself, I often think of one of my most important role models - a hero if you will - Marie Curie. In her day, about the only other peer who could remotely keep up with her was her husband, Pierre. Had they lived here, she couldn't vote. She sure had no problem bringing us into the atomic age! There are zillions of other examples. Grace Hopper, when she was young, must have wondered why her mom couldn't vote. <BR/><BR/>Word verification: "equirer"<BR/>Usage: "The National Equirer is a huge gossip paper - in color- whose sales top even the mini-WD-40 cans and Bic lighters at checkout stands."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140795453183769392.post-80661437983701469332008-10-25T02:30:00.000-04:002008-10-25T02:30:00.000-04:00Sue ~ I hadn't heard the story before either.

As strong as I believe myself to be, I doubt I could even hold a candle to just one of those women!<BR/><BR/>Jim ~ I MUST see the movie now! Watching it (especially since it's been stated that it's "graphic") will be difficult (even without the scars of my personal past), but I crave knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it be lovely if we could ask those who are long gone about their life, and their experiences. I'm writing a book because of that very reason. We often know what the shells of our ancestors look like, but we've no clue who they truly were. My book will be read only by future generations.. it's my life, as told through my words. The blogs I write, that you read, are placed in the book. Each entry, a short story of an event, a day, an experience or simply a thought. I'd like them to know me, not just my shell.Angie ^i^https://www.blogger.com/profile/05424050133329261515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140795453183769392.post-90658822218633177832008-10-24T21:56:00.000-04:002008-10-24T21:56:00.000-04:00I saw the movie during the original release back i...I saw the movie during the original release back in 2004 or maybe it was another version. It's a great story. My grandmother would have been about 30 years old back in 1920. She was ahead of her time, educated, a teacher and a school principal. I would love to hear her tell about her first voting experience and what it meant to her. Unfortunately, she's not around anymore but it had to have been an exciting time for women.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779197916443212469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140795453183769392.post-68809999434183048582008-10-24T20:45:00.000-04:002008-10-24T20:45:00.000-04:00That's incredible.
