Does that mean the other 11 months are men history months. | |||

A few years ago I read a book on pioneer women + there were excerpts from this one woman's diary talking about life on the trail. Walking, digging wagons out of the mud, etc. Then made a short entry about giving birth yesterday + back on the trail. Those were some rugged women. | |||

PD, it is always men's history month. We didn't let American women vote until 1920, but that obviously means nothing to you. Anyone who says my grandmothers, my aunts, my mother, my wife, my daughter can't vote because of gender needs killing. Why don't you just go back to obsessing about shooting bears with handguns? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Back in the 80s I went to the funeral of the mother of our CEO. She had arrived in White Oaks, New Mexico as a child in the back of a covered wagon, and lived in a dugout until a house was built. Her father had heard of gold being discovered in the area and moved his family there. A recap of the woman's life was stunning. She must have been tougher than a boot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Oaks,_New_Mexico You have to admire women like that. | |||

PD, you are confusing the passage of suffrage for women with the Volstead Act. THAT's when we started going downhill.  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

My great grandmother used to say that her mom said settling in the panhandle wasnt so bad for men and mukles but hell on women and horses. | |||

Bill, you got that right! The Volstead act in 1919 gave organized crime in America one HUGE leg up in their industry + it continues to this day. As to the voting rights issue; my Grandmother voted in every election because she remembered when she wasn't allowed to. | |||
