Frauentag 1914 Heraus mit dem Frauenwahlrecht.jpg
German poster for International Women's Day, March 8th, 1914; English translation: “Give Us Women’s Suffrage. Women’s Day, March 8, 1914. Until now, prejudice and reactionary attitudes have denied full civic rights to women, who as workers, mothers, and citizens wholly fulfill their duty, who must pay their taxes to the state as well as the municipality. Fighting for this natural human right must be the firm, unwavering intention of every woman, every female worker. In this, no pause for rest, no respite is allowed. Come all, you women and girls, to the 9th public women’s assembly on Sunday, March 8, 1914, at 3pm.” [1]

13. No, I don't

But she was one smart cookie. Lived in the "backwoods", re in a rural town in the midwest. I know she voted on a regular basis though.

9. If Germany had won World War One, its politics almost certainly would have moved left...

...and the Socialists wouldn't have had the stigma of being associated with Weimar...there's an historical irony for you...
