I Voted
99 years and 1 day ago, Congress passed the 19th amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote.(California passed a similar law for the states in 1911 in a special election).
I am so grateful for all the hard work women (and some men) did in the past to allow me the right to vote. I try to never take that for granted, even when I have to vote in these tiresome California primary elections.

Andrew Jackson's Inauguration: What the Newspapers Said
The buildup to the Trump's inauguration is most impressive. Will it be over the top, low key, or will some protesters create havoc?
I've heard a few news outlets mention the upcoming festivities compared to Andrew Jackson's raucous first inauguration, which followed a vicious election between Jackson and incumbent John Quincy Adams. I looked through my usual newspaper databases hoping to find some coverage of the event in an "above the fold" placement, but newspapers weren't set up like that back then. What I did find was that some things never change in American politics.

As a woman, I wouldn't have been able to vote in the Presidential election a century ago.
