The Rankin story is a bit misleading. There were 23 states where women had full voting rights prior to the 19th amendment to include Wyoming which was the first. So Rankin was able to run and vote for herself.
Fun fact: She is the only person to vote twice against going to war, and she served only two terms in Congress.
Women were not “given” the right to vote. They always had the right. Men took away the right when they would not let them vote in the first place. Given the right to vote truly written by a man.
Snakes are a bit helpless on lineolium (sp) also. We once picked a basket of green beans and brought it into the house to clean and snip. But, we hadn’t noticed that a snake had crawled into the basket! It was helpless on the smooth floor.
Finally, a fact I can apply in practice! No, I’m not about to put glass all around my home to keep snakes at bay. I write “Downscale,” a webcomic featuring a snake, and while it’s not big on RL herpetology, I might just work this one in.

So they can’t slither on glass. Can they tango?

Seriously? Even in intense conflict, the Brits still make time for a cuppa?

No wonder snakes are often kept in glass terrariums. Like my late brother’s pet boa constrictor.

And no, he wasn’t killed by the boa.

Go Montana! Representative Rankin has her statue in the House of Representatives and deservedly so.

One of my jobs in the forces was to load up the jeep engine department with tinfoil, steak and potatoes. A hot meal when we got to the training site.

The Brits have a long tradition in making tea during the battle, see the Asterix comic “Asterix in Britain” for more details ;-)
(I don’t know whether these comics are known in the US, though. It’s a French comic translated into many foreign languages).

Gotta love the Brits! Also, good to know that next time I’m being chased by a snake I can run to the grass!

No one gave any rights. The constitution . as is . is a protection in law of Life, Liberty . AND . the Pursuit of Happiness.

Leave it to the Brits to make sure their soldiers always have access to tea!
