LuhrsandAssociates✨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. 🇺🇸
Dr Susi Arnott@workingclasshistory I'm no fan of #violentdirectaction - anyone out there good on the disinction between #suffragists and #suffragettes?
Donald RoyFortunately 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!
Flipboard Culture DeskThe 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."

Ian RobinsonThe 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.
