  1. What wonderful photos, I got a little choked up looking at them.
    And that woman voting for the first time has some bad ass style.

  6. i'm taking a "women and politics" class this semester and it reminds me of how much there's still to be changed. i fear that people think women's equality has been achieved, just because in most countries women have the same legal rights as men.
