Today is the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, and testerical needledickbugfuckers want to do away with the 19th Amendment.
I found a YouTube account called Breaking Down Patriarchy, w/ a video called "How the United States Tried to Crush Native American Matriarchies."

✨On this day, August 18, in 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the #19thAmendment, securing women's right to vote nationwide in the United States!🗳️
👩⚖️ This milestone for democracy and equality culminated 72-years of fighting for the right to vote and the tireless activism by #suffragists, such as Alice Paul, Reverend Florence Randolph, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone & Carrie Chapman Catt, who founded the League of Women Voters. 🇺🇸
Fortunately for them (technically #suffragettes rather than #suffragists ) current #uk anti-terrorism law was not in force at the time - 1908. Nor was there any question of proscribing #keirhardie because of his association with the #pankhurst family!
The back stories of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good are the subject of "Wicked," now in movie theaters with a 90% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. @Smithsonianmag tells the true story of Matilda Gage, L. Frank Baum's mother-in-law, who inspired the witch characters in "The Wizard of Oz." "After male critics branded Gage as satanic and a heretic, she became an expert on the subject of witch hunts," writes Evan I. Schwartz. "Her 1893 manifesto 'Woman, Church and State' chronicled the five centuries between 1300 and 1800 when tens of thousands of human beings, mostly women, were accused of witchcraft and put to death by fire, hanging, torture, drowning or stoning."

The concluding part of the two part episode of Origin Story on the British Suffragette’s and other campaigner’s for votes for women is superb. I think it drops on the general podcast feed on Monday. Part 1 available now.
They have taught me a lot about the campaigns that I didn’t know. Including about the much larger Suffragist movement.
This Day in Legal History:
Equal Rights Party Formed
On September 20, 1884, a group of #American #suffragists formed the
🔸Equal Rights Party 🔸
in San Francisco, marking a significant moment in the fight for #gender #equality in the United States.
The party was established with the goal of securing
"equal and exact justice"
for all citizens, regardless of color, sex, or nationality.
A key focus was on amending state laws to recognize women as voters
and to ensure equal property rights,
aiming to empower women to become self-sufficient rather than remain dependent.
In a bold move, the party nominated Mrs. #Belva #Lockwood as its candidate for U.S. President and #Marietta #Snow for Vice-President.
Lockwood, a lawyer and prominent suffragist, became one of the first women to actively campaign for the presidency.
While Grover Cleveland ultimately won the election, Lockwood’s candidacy broke new ground.
She garnered around 4,149 votes, all cast by male voters, as women did not yet have the right to vote nationally.
This event showcased the growing momentum of the women’s suffrage movement,
which would eventually lead to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920,
granting women the right to vote.
The Equal Rights Party's formation highlighted the early intersection of gender, legal rights, and political advocacy in American history

This is an excellent short video on suffrage in the UK. If you've got someone who can't be bothered to vote, show them this.

There's a musical about suffragists! It's so new, it will be on Broadway this spring. The CD soundtrack isn't out yet.
It's the musical I've been waiting for. (I have 2 bookcases full of books about suffragists and voting rights.)
Edith Margaret #Garrud, born Edith Margaret Williams, was one of the first female martial arts teachers in Europe. She is known for training a unit of bodyguards in #jūjutsu techniques for the Women's Social and Political Union, so that they could respond to physical attacks on them by some anti-feminist men.
