As the fight for women's suffrage heats up, Kathleen'Kat' Bowen gets to participate as her mother and her sister, and many others close to her organize and act to win the right to vote.January 19, 1917The picket line has been going on for over a week! And people said they would not last a day and the weather still has not broken. What's more is news of the picket is spreading and more and more women are coming from other parts of the district and some from as far away asMaryland and Virginia. President Wilson felt so sorry for them in the cold that he invited them in for coffee but they refused. They said they would only come in to talk about a federal amendment for the women's right to vote. No coffee! This made me think of Sojourner Truth's words about men who help lift women into carriages and over mud puddlesthat of course is the easy part, just like giving them coffee. Giving them the vote is the hard part.
