The Month in Pictures
Need a
reminder of
why it’s
important to
vote? This
early-1900s
postcard attacking Amer-
ican suffragettes does it
for me. We may think we
h av e t o de a l w it h t r ol l s ,
but 100 years before angry
men started f linging rape
threats at women on theInternet, people who
opposed the female vote
caricatured suffragettes
as spinsters and bad
mothers. Activist Alice
Paul endured a hunger
s t r i k e t r y i ng t o w i n t he
right to vote; women were
s e nt t o w ork hou s e s ju s t
for picketing for the cause.
If they were willing to do
all that, can’t we take a
few minutes to get to thepolls on November 8?
Whether at the local or
federal level, there is
someone on t he b a l lo t w ho
represents what you
believe; find out and sup-
port her (or him). Visit
eac.gov and get regis-
tered. And get that “I
voted” sticker! —Meredith
