meanwhile in Germany, people weren't sure if Olaf Scholz could do a woman's job as chancellor of Germany.

on this page is just one place left for Joe Biden. So in a double meaning there will be a new page to be turned.

Far more confusion ensued when I tried to explain that women couldn’t vote until 1920.

4yo: “You mean girls couldn’t run for president for most of these pages?!”

Me: “No, women couldn’t even get to help choose who became president for most of these pages.”

it must be devastating to be a girl. i remember one day the police brought my sister home when she just wanted to walk home from middle school (a think i had done countless times), cuz of course a girls oughtnt be doing that

and then in college i was so shocked aobut he reality how many stories, girls just couldn't wander around the countryside like i did?

utterly shocking to me, how much more to girls?

I was reading some of my grandmother's writing about her memories of the past (and the present). She was writing in 1972 about remembering torchlight election parades in about 1892...and when she was writing it, she had a polling place in her garage. She never mentioned getting the vote, though. There's a lot she didn't talk about, but you could see some of her views in her kids.
