It is a great way to honor her candidacy, AND the extraordinary courage of the suffragettes.

It will inspire her supporters to stand by her — by supporting the candidate she endorses.

Thanks to the success of the suffragettes, women now have voices and choices!

And great candidates like Senator Clinton!

But most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.

Now readers can discover the shocking truth, and it’s as easy as opening their e-mail.

“The Privilege of Voting” is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 – 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote.

This is no boring history report.

Two beautiful and extremely powerful suffragettes — Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt and two gorgeous presidential mistresses.

There are tons of heartache for these heroines on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, they WIN!

Exciting sequential series of 10-minute e-mails, perfect for coffeebreaks or anytime.

We’re delivering women’s history – and making it free, fast and FUN!

We need to get away from the idea that women think via their wombs and that thought patterns are governed by the phases of the moon.

In Ms. Hoope’s case it might have helped to have an editor who could remind her not to play into the stereotype.

People who use words for a living should be more careful.

This afternoon I was at the grand opening of a democratic office in a town that hasn't had an office in years - and women made it happen. Women volunteers! We cleaned the place and we will volunteer our time so the place will be staffed. There is no fest involved, just elbow grease and hours of time. Besides which, I'm all out of estrogen. The media needs to stop with the labels - we are democrats, plain and simple. The democratic party would be out of business without women.
