Those women were brutalized, but they were incredibly courageous. <br /><br />The women who picketed the White House were criticised even by other suffragists. They were led by Alice Paul, and an offshoot of the "main branch" led by Carrie Catt Chapman.

Or maybe I was even more surprised that women formed the first picket line. Either way, women are amazing.

I didn't realize that.<br /><br />I love female writers, especially the early feminists back when we needed feminists. Kate Chopin and Charlotte Gilman Perkins. Also African-American female authors. Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larson, Alice Walker and more recently Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou.
