Today -100: February 1, 1913: Of pretty uniforms and golf courses
Headline of the Day -100: On reports that Rosalie Jones, who was to have lead another women’s suffrage pilgrimage, this one from New York to DC, arriving in time for Wilson’s inauguration, has had a nervous breakdown: “GLOOM IN SUFFRAGE CAMP.; Hear Gen. Jones Has Broken Down, but Pretty Uniforms Cheer Them Up.”
British suffragettes are now attacking golf courses, burning “Votes for women” onto putting greens with acid and the like. Now they’ve gone TOO FAR!
