Did you get a chance to read that article?

If so, what did you think of it?

No, I have not. I've been engrossed (grossed out)by the impeachment insanity. I will start it as I see that it is written by someone who actually knows how to write.

____

It begins:

"IN 1895 the women of Massachusetts were asked by the state whether they wished the suffrage. Of the 575,000 voting women in the state, only 22,204 cared for it enough to deposit in a ballot box an affirmative answer to this question. That is, in round numbers, less than four per cent wished to vote; about ninety-six per cent were opposed to woman suffrage or indifferent to it."

Before I go any further I assume in 1895 that most women (as females) did not think they were equipped ("meant") to know enough to vote.

Personally I don't think most of them are equipped today.

I'll read it.

One more thing, generally we all would be better off if only property owners could vote. Just a thought.

;-)
