21 Nov 1922 Jahr - The first woman becomes a U.S. Senator

Beschreibung:

At the time Suffragette and Activist Rebecca Felton was 87 years old and served for one day as a symbolic gesture.

She calls out southern men for an excess of chivalry and too little concern for women’s rights, writing, “honeyed phrases are pleasant to listen to, but the sensible women of our country would prefer more substantial gifts.”
