Threesies

In May 1851 Amelia Bloomer, in her progressive and controversial pants, introduced Susan B. Anthony to Elizabeth Cady Stanton on a street corner in Seneca Falls, NY.

The costume of women should be suited to her wants and necessities.

Suffrage is the pivotal right.

The best protection any woman can have... is courage.
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

    Those are great! But if those are actually bloomers - I suppose more a divided skirt, then I really can't see what all the fuss was about!

    Well, I will have to stop Seneca Falls the next time we go down to the US! Thanks for this photo of three remarkable women. Amongst the first feminists in the US I suspect.

    Great shots, doug.

    P.S. For the first time, a cardinal visited the seed feeder here in the woods!
