“VOTE!!! Remember what the suffragists said when they finally won their long hard battle to get us the right to vote, knowing that they probably would never get to exercise the right or see the results; they said, 'this is not for ourselves alone.' It was for us and every generation of women to come. If we don't vote, we are ignoring history and giving away the future.” IfsGivingLongSaidHardRememberResultsKnowingGenerationsExerciseBattleVoteThey SaidRight To VoteSuffragists Author:Pat Mitchell
“We spoke of ourselves as "emancipated" when we got the vote. Yet we are still slaves to the superficial and the superfluous. We are concerned with the length of our skirts, with the latest lipstick, with the newest thrill in hats. We are impressed by advertisements that insist we must be alluring; we must adopt a time-consuming coiffure, we must spend hours with the "beautician," we must attend fashion shows. As long as women are preoccupied with nonessentials we shall be afflicted with infantilism, passivity, and the eventual disillusionment that results from trivial, unproductive lives.” LongStillsShowsHoursResultsFashionConcernedVoteSlaveHatsSpokesLengthNarcissismImpressedSuperficialThrillConsumingSkirtsLipstickAdvertisementsDisillusionmentSuperfluousPassivityAlluringTime ConsumingUnproductiveFashion ShowBeauticians Author:Mary Barnett Gilson
“If Robert Heinlein is more to your taste than George Lucas: “If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for, but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against.” That’s certainly true of me. Over my lifetime, the Republican Party has done far more to repulse me than the Democratic Party has done to appeal to me. But the result in the voting booth would be about the same either way.” IfsWayWantMayDoneWould BeCertainResultsPartyRepublicanTasteVoteDemocraticLifetimeAppealsCandidatesVotingRepublican PartyDemocratic PartyRobert Heinlein Author:Kevin Drum
