I had an Aunt, reserved woman, but honest. She was the first woman born in the entire family to be born with the right to vote. She managed to chisel herself a career in civil service for her entire adult life, never married, through all the rather distasteful attitudes she’d deal with on a daily basis.

Even she kept a copy of the constitution in her purse, a document that forbade her own mother from being able to vote well into adulthood.

Way I see it, our nation as such beautifully unceasing promise behind it, and they’re damn afraid of that fact.
