Now that the 2008 election and its historic high turnout is history, there is much greater appreciation for the privilege of voting.

But most people don't realize that out of 44 American presidents, only the last 15 were elected in a truly democratic fashion by all of our citizens -- men AND women.

Until 1920 women were denied the vote, and few people have any idea of the struggle our suffragettes had to go through to right this wrong. It's an amazing, awe-inspiring story!

I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing that the world would be fair to us.

Women have not been treated with equal respect in this campaign, but at least women are in it!

Can you even imagine being a woman and NOT being able to vote?

Thanks to the suffragettes, America has women voters and wide range of women candidates, and we are a better country for it! Women have voices and choices! Just like men.

But few people know ALL of the suffering that our suffragettes had to go through, and what life was REALLY like for women.

I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing that the world would be fair to us.

But when I realized that I didn't know how my freedom happened I set out on a journey of discovery and I am now strengthened by the inspiration of countless suffragettes.

Re: Initial study results point to possible link between female journalists and gender-biased political reporting

1VirginiaHarris1 — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:54:25 -0000

Thank you for this articel and thanks to Ms. Bystron for her careful research.

I am looking forward to reading more about this study, and I hope it opens up an opportunity for reporters of both genders to examine how they can meet the highest standards of integrity and fairness in their reporting.

Media people are people, and we all come with bias based on our life experience. That is unavoidable, but until it is acknowledged and accepted, there will be little room for improvement.

Women and women's history are difficult topics for the media and academic settings.

At age 40, I realized that I knew that it did, but nothing of HOW the world turned -- from routine repression to relative freedom for women.

I was a pre-teen in the 60s and was vaguely aware of bra-burning and women's 'liberation.' But nothing was taught in school - there were no tv shows - no popular books that would make a person of my generation understand what it took to instill in me the firm belief that there was nothing in the world that I as a woman could not do.

I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing, taking it for granted, assuming that the world would be fair to us and that our future would be glorious.

Of course, that hasn't always been the case, though my life has been blessed with amazing opportunities that my mother and grandmother would not have dreamed of.

But when I realized that I didn't know how my freedom happened I set out on a journey of discovery and I am now strengthened by the inspiration of countless suffragettes.

I realize I stand on their strong shoulders, and on the shoulders of other women who keep pushing for more than voting rights, who demand the full range of human rights for women.

I want to share that inspiration with other women.

Re: Executive Experience Is A Joke (Guest Voice)

1VirginiaHarris1 — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:44:28 -0000

Read this for your daughters!

Senator Clinton and Governor Palin are proof that women can and do diverge on important issues.

Even on the question of whether women should vote!

Most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won votes for women, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.

Suffragettes were opposed by many women who were what was known as 'anti.'

The most influential 'anti' lived in the White House. First Lady Edith Wilson was a wealthy Washington widow who married President Wilson in 1915.

Her role in Wilson's decision to jail and torture Alice Paul and hundreds of other suffragettes will never be fully known, but she was outraged that these women picketed her husband's White House.

I'd like to share a women's history learning opportunity...

"The Privilege of Voting" is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote in England and America.

It's a real-life soap opera! And it's ALL true!

Powerful suffragettes Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with TWO gorgeous presidential mistresses, First Lady Edith Wilson, Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan and Alice Roosevelt.

There are tons of heartache on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, women WIN!

Re: Polls: Race Dead Even Now After Biden Pick Apparently Irks Clinton Supporters

1VirginiaHarris1 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:50:17 -0000

I'm thrilled that Senator Clinton is addressing the Dem Convention on the anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment.

It is a great way to honor her candidacy, AND the extraordinary courage of the suffragettes.

It will inspire her supporters to stand by her -- by supporting the candidate she endorses.

There are sharp elbows in every good campaign, but in the end everyone has to pull together to get anywhere.

Re: Edwards Lie Cost Clinton Nomination -- Political Wire

Politicians will be politicians!

This was a year when 7 out of 10 candidates had a known history of cheating on their spouses.

The voters were yawning about it.

But a love child is a whole different kettle of fish!

Betcha don't know which president had a love child while running for office, and that it actually helped women win the vote.

Most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won.

But because they did, women have choices now. They can stay with a cheater like John Edwards, or walk out.
