you're an enigma
Sepia Saturday: Happy Birthday
Perhaps I should say "Happy Belated Birthday" because the anniversary of Susan B. Anthony's birth was yesterday. She was born February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts to Daniel and Lucy Read Anthony, both of whom were Quakers with an activist bent. Though many girls were poorly educated in that era, Daniel Anthony was an ardent supporter of quality education for both boys and girls, so the four girls in the family were as well-educated as their brothers. As an adult, Susan Brownell Anthony dedicated her life to the woman suffrage issue. Though she died on March 13, 1906 without having secured the passage of a constitutional amendment securing voting rights for women, others carried on the quest. The 19th amendment was passed in 1920. Does it amaze you that women have had voting rights for less than 100 years in the United States? That women were considered less than too emotional to make rational decisions...

My shadow shots, hope you can visit, thanks!
Mine this week is a heron casting its shadow near the marina.

Have a great Sunday.
“Draw near, child,” the spectre said.
“Do not faint with fear or dread.
I bring good news from afar,
News from planet, sun and star;
News to make the timid sing;
News to give the broken wing
Healing that will make it fly
Like an arrow through the sky.
So, my child, please have no fear,
Hear my tale—draw near, draw near!”

I once had an enigma. It wasn't as unpleasant as I'd anticipated.
Have a nice day, Boonie
