Today marks the one hundredth anniversary of an event I did not live to see. I am grateful for every person who moved us toward women’s suffrage, agonizing inch by agonizing inch. Use your vote and use it wisely. And remember the ladies who fought for it. #19thAmendment

In 2020, 100 years after the passage of the 19th Amendment, @JAHHM and partners @FrancesWillard & @NorthwesternU launch a yearlong Suffrage Centennial series about racism in the Suffrage Movement and links to the upcoming 2020 election. #Suffrage2020

I was also a vegetarian, but do make certain you obtain your iron.

It's #WorldVegetarianDay! #DYK that Alice Paul was a vegetarian? When asked about it, she said, "It occurred to me that I just didn't see how I could go ahead and continue to eat meat. It just seemed so — cannibalistic to me. And so I'm a vegetarian, and I have been ever since."

These assorted cupcakes suit my vegetarian lifestyle.

Happy birthday, Frances E. Willard! Born in 1839, she was famous for her temperance and suffrage work, as well as innovations in American education. Anyone in #Illinois can access an #ebook version of her biography via @BiblioBoard: https://t.co/fTO0PmA0On #OTD

Rumors of my demise have sadly not been exaggerated. The anniversary of one’s passing is never a thrill, but it does also mark the dedication of my statue in Statuary Hall. Which is a balm to the day. #otd
