Beautiful stories of women born before passage of 19th amendment giving them the right to vote! All now 96 or older - and so excited! Enjoy! Peace, Hannah

She would be 101 is she was still alive. She died just a couple weeks before her 95th birthday. She would have voted with the bible thumpers if she were still alive though. I'm 37. I had old grandparents compared to most people. Actually all of my grandparents were born before the 19th amendment because my other grandparents were even older and died when I was a little kid or before I was even born.

I found out about her while watching Turner Classic Movies. She was blacklisted during the House Un-American Committee witch hunt.

She is still alive. Lee Grant talked with her on the phone a few weeks ago. I assume she will vote for Hillary.
