2020 will long be remembered as a year of great difficulty. The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic hardship that followed have caused much pain and loss here at home and around the world. As we look back at this year, we'll always be reminded of loss, but it will also remind us of our collective strength, the fighting spirit of our first responders, and the unwavering commitment of our frontline and medical care workers to keep their fellow Americans healthy.

The Ramblings of a Crusty Old Sailor - The Suffragette

Harsh marriage advice for young ladies from a suffragette in 1918. This pamphlet is on display at the Pontypridd Museum in Wales.

The Suffragette movement began in earnest in 1848 at a women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, which went onto inspire women across America to form their own groups and attend conventions similar in nature. Initially the movement formed as a way to help women earn the right to vote, but there were also Suffragettes who weren’t so hot on men, hence this pamphlet.

Admittedly, even though the views in this pamphlet are virulently anti-male, it’s really funny. And we can’t speak to whether or not yard swillers make good husbands, we can say that it’s always nice to be fed, whether or not you’re a brute.
