Cutting Class

America has spawned many “losers” over the course of it’s existence. Many of them live and die as nobodies. But occasionally one of those losers is a real somebody despite his/her tenacity for supporting the losing side throughout their life. Meet William Jennings Bryan. This guy was THE mover and shaker in the early 20th century and despite being a general loser at all his endeavors he really changed a lot!
Thanks Salo Wolf for suggesting this topic!

Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Carrie Chapman Catt continue the fight!

As we near the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote, Joe seeks to outline the key players in making this reality take place. But to do so we have to dive back to probably the biggest push for women’s voting since Jane Addams was in the White House. The Seneca Falls convention was the who’s who of women’s suffragists in the 1800s and would outline the game plan for decades to come. It would even have a surprise guest lecturer would would rock the house in favor of women’s voting rights! Can you guess who it was? Listen in to find out!

Note – Jess deeply apologizes for his poor audio quality. Covid has disrupted his normal recording studio and hopes to return to normalcy again soon! Also, it seems our normal recording volume was low for many listeners so we bumped it up a bit! Listeners beware
