I've been told by park rangers that Seneca Falls is one of the most coveted postings in the National Park Service. I'll never forget years ago searching for the building where the Declaration of Sentiments was formed and finding that it had become a laundromat.

When a friend of my mother's was the first woman to be valedictorian of her law school, the university could not stop patting itself on the back for "giving" her the opportunity she fought for. In her speech, she said she had done this for all the women who had been denied and all the women who had supported her in the struggle. <br />When I was a girl Charlotte Whitton was elected the first female mayor of Ottawa, Canada. She said: "In order to be considered half as good as a man, a woman has to be twice as good. This is unfair. Fortunately, it's not difficult."Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-73234312550111935292016-06-09T05:19:44.152-07:002016-06-09T05:19:44.152-07:00Many years ago I thought that having a woman prime...Many years ago I thought that having a woman prime minister would be an excellent sign of progress, in and of itself. And that was correct, in Australia, Israel, India, New Zealand etc etc. <br /><br />Until Margaret Thatcher became prime minister of Britain, that is :( Now feminists have to carefully evaluate a woman candidate for leadership, exactly as we would have to examine anyone else. What a shame!Helshttp://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
