Nancy Pelosi, age 20.

At the link is a photo with JFK that she posted on Facebook.

She also describes listening to his inauguration speech.

This image shows House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a blushing young girl with the man whose presidency - and horrifying assassination - would fascinate America for the next 50 years.

Mrs Pelosi posted the image, which she did not date or describe, on her Facebook wall yesterday to mark the 50th anniversary of JFK's inauguration.

She captioned it: "50 years ago today, I was a young Trinity College student standing outside in the sunlit cold, listening to a young President’s inaugural call to 'the energy, the faith, the devotion...that will light our country and all who serve it – and the glow from that fire can truly light the world."

'The leadership of President John F. Kennedy is not just a memory, but a living force that still asks every citizen to lead—and perhaps that is the most precious gift of all.'

5. In a male dominated country

That little girl crew up to be third in the line of succession. And a political heavy weight.

7. Yes. Different worlds. I still read novels written back

then and mainstream attitudes of and toward women revealed by mostly enlightened authors are wowsers. When Nancy was 20, many women got college degrees to compete for glamorous jobs as stewardesses.

That said, Nancy is shockingly STILL busily battling for women's equality, an eye-opening indication, for those who realize, that this war is far from over and that hugely powerful knuckledragger groups are STILL bizarrely fighting to reimpose traditional roles and restore white male supremacy.

Btw, we should expect an attack eventually on the "right to privacy" established in Griswold v Connecticut in 1965 (not in the 1800s but 2 years AFTER Kennedy's assassination!) after CT made contraception illegal. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh weren't added just to funnel money and power to the wealthy.

To put it mildly, they disagree profoundly with the current fragile bases for our right to say no to government interference with our bodies and "right to be left alone" by government. Many decisions since are based on this inferred principle.

In a 7-2 decision authored by Justice Douglas, the Court ruled that the Constitution did in fact protect the right of marital privacy against state restrictions on contraception. While the Court explained that the Constitution does not explicitly protect a general right to privacy, the various guarantees within the Bill of Rights create penumbras, or zones, that establish a right to privacy. Together, the First, Third, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments create the right to privacy in marital relations.

Justice Goldberg, joined by Justices Warren and Brennan, concurred. Rather than finding that the right to privacy was contained in imaginary penumbras, Goldberg located it in the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments. Justice Harlan concurred, arguing that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects the right to privacy. Justice White concurred.

8. Sad that the fight has to cotinue on today.

There are still people trying to sweep us back into the dark ages in human rights. My grandmother was on the front lines fighting for voting rights for women. Today their are people working trying to revoke the 19th amendment I was on the front line back in the sixties working for human rights. Sad that we still have to be there 60 years later. Thank goodness for the Nancy Pelosis of the world, and younger, more enlightened women and men to carry on the fight. We shall overcome!

10. Yes. :) Also sad but very real, death is on our side.

Ancient attitudes will continue to endure but also continue to weaken.

I'm hoping the intense attacks and attention leading up to the midterms, and past, on Pelosi is causing intelligent people to know more about her.

I've been noticing that she's not just "a lightning rod" for hostile attacks but uses herself as a lightning rod, helping others around her remain safe as she keeps attacks focused on herself and diffuses them into the ground. The Republicans and other enemies didn't intend to add to her value by engineering her favorability ratings to absurdly low levels -- without diminishing her power, but she's putting it to good use.

The Republicans’ Desperate Obsession With Nancy Pelosi: She's the star of GOP attack ads because the party has no other choice. ... “Nancy Pelosi has long been a favorite target of GOP attack ads,” USA Today reported recently. “But Republicans seem to be taking it to another level in this election cycle.” 34 percent of Republican ads in House races this year mentioned Pelosi, up from 13 percent from the 2014 midterm cycle. In some races, this is the dominant message.

Thank you for all your services, Indomitable Nancy!

6. When you look at Nancy you can still see that starry-eyed young woman.
