And there it is. 👇🏼

I gather many white women didn’t read the fine print, or believed the orange joker that he wasn’t associated with Project 2025. 🙄

Ms. Magazine · Christian Nationalism’s First Item on the Agenda: Repeal Women’s Right to VoteRight after the election, Pastor Joel Webbon, President of the Right Response Ministries, said that half of his vote was stolen from him by the 19th amendment—that would be the 1920 amendment that enshrined women’s right to vote. As Webbon noted in his podcast, he does “allow” his wife to vote so that half of his “stolen” vote can be returned to him. Webbon was in fact one of several influential Trump supporters who expressed disdain for women and women’s rights this past week—although most of the others threatened women’s bodily autonomy, including at least one threat of rape. But even before the elect

"Votes for Women," Bertha Margaret Boyé, 1911.

There's not much information about Boyé (1883-1930) except that she was a California native who entered this as part of a competition to design a poster to help for the campaign for women's suffrage in California. The Art Nouveau/Arts and Crafts style is lovely, and that's the Golden Gate behind her, so it makes it a uniquely Californian image. And California gave women the vote in 1911, so the poster was successful.

This appears to be her only notable work; she died at the age of 47 in Europe, having gone there to continue her studies.

From the Arthur & Elizabeth Schlesinger Library, Cambridge, MA.

An Art Nouveau poster. A woman in a long robe stands before the water; her expression is serene yet with a touch of determination. At waist height she unrolls a scroll that reads "Votes for Women." Behind her, at her shoulders, we see the Golden Gate of San Francisco, with the sun forming a halo around her head.

Susan B. Anthony is the suffragist who gets the attention, but I most admire Dr. Alice Stokes Paul, Sojourner Truth, & Lucretia Coffin Mott. They have my gratitude when I vote. I encourage learning about these remarkable women; this post focuses on Alice Paul, who died in 1977 (when I was in high school!) Learn about her at these websites:

Meme: a black and white portrait photo of a young Alice Stokes Paul, seated with her hands in her lap and her face turned directly to the camera. Above her photo is the text: “This is Alice Paul. She nearly died for the right to vote.” Beneath the head-and-shoulders portion of her photo it says, “What are you doing today?”

US Politics

If you think the Right is settled with overturning Roe V Wade, you are mistaken.

They want the 19th amendment repealed, especially since there is a sharp divide amongst the genders and political leanings.

Recent polling shows men support Trump by a 16 point margin, whereas women lean to Harris by 20 points. When asked about issues, the trend is the same among men and women under 30

If women can’t vote, it won’t be an issue for them

Musical Interlude: A few years ago, jazz artiste Karrin Allyson released an interesting concept album, "Shoulder to Shoulder," a tribute to the centennial of women's suffrage. It featured modern versions of suffragist songs, and readings of speeches by different figures of the movement, including Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. While some feel it's a miss, I like it. Here's a track.

"She's Good Enough to Be Your Baby's Mother," performed by Karrin Allyson.

November 5, 1872 - Susan B. Anthony and a few other women in Rochester, New York, voted in the presidential election, all of them for the first time.
Anthony wrote later that day to her fellow suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, “If only now—all the women would work to this end of enforcing the existing constitution—supremacy of national law over state law—what strides we might make . . . .”
