Give Thanks, Educate

After watching an episode of Oprah a couple of weeks ago, I got to thinking. Are our daughters going to know the women before us that paved the way for us to do the things we do? Take the picture, here women during 1942 WWII whose husbands where off fighting and had to go to work just to support their young children. Pre war it was unheard of women working outside the home. I bet if you would have one of these brave women that in 2008 there would be a women Vice President candidate they would have laughed. There were no women political figures, professional athletes. If you were lucky enough to work outside the home you were a nurse, a schoolteacher making 1/3 less than your male coworkers. It took such brave women as Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Hellen Keller, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Lee Parks, Gloria Steinham, Billy Ray King, Sally Ride, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi to name a few. Let's educate our daughters about the sacrifices these great women before us made. So get out and VOTE! Remember before 1920 women couldn't vote!
