As I posted earlier, Jan 10, 1917, the Silent Sentinels began their protest in

front of the White House, demanding Women's Suffrage. I was reminded of the differences in strategy and approaches between the National Woman's Party (NWP), fiunded by Alice B. Paul, and the National American Women's Suffrage Assc (NAWSA), founded by Carrie Chapman Catt. Apart from Carrie's state-by-state approach to securing suffrage, she also believed that, in the pursuit of suffrage, at all times, the women must be genteel, lady-like, decorcous. Alice B. Paul, and others, believed that was getting them nowhere, and seventy some years after Seneca Falls, fifty years after the Civil War, one was inclined to agree.

I think about that in today's political scene. Many Dem strategists and voters, believe we should be well-mannered, polite, never cause a scene, never play dirty. Others believe in a more direct, no-holds barred approach. Which is more effective? When did 19 A pass and ratify after the Sentinels and the most serious push for that Anendment began?

2. EXACTLY!!!

Although, it continues to be hard for me to understand how a woman who believes in choice could have a partner who does not. To me, anyway, that is a bedrock, non-negotiable belief.
