Beautiful free women...all of the time.

This month is the 90th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women the right to vote in America! Because of this legislation--you, and I, and everybody else here is absolutely surrounded by beautiful, free women, all of the time. Personally, I fall in love with at least 6 a week on the subway (Thanks MTA!)
A couple weeks ago I posted a slide show of pictures from the Brooklyn Museums "American High Style" exhibition. Well...the sister exhibit; American Women at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is kind of like that. But it's not just about clothes...it was about women. Specifically American Women. And it was way better. NPR is running a story on the exhibit this morning. 
Then President Woodrow Wilson had this to say about women's suffrage:
"Unless we enfranchise women, we shall have fought to safeguard a democracy which, to that extent, we have never bothered to create."
And of course, we did! So our great-grandmothers and grandmothers...our aunts and mothers, our sisters and cousins and friends and second cousins...and hopefully my nieces and more second cousins before too long! They can all express themselves! Nothing makes me happier than that.
