I love double breasted jackets and coats... and those lapels are something else! Beautiful!

(34,874 posts)One of them, Kate McGerr, was the first woman in NE
to run for public office, more than once.
Plus, it makes her easier to spot amid all those dark winter coats. She IS The Woman of the Hour, after all! (And hopefully the first of many!)

(17,529 posts)Despite the misogynism that's still rampant in this country, we are making progress! Have to look on the bright side these days. Michiganders are seeing all the wonderful works of our Governor Gretchen Whitmer after the fraud, Rick Snyder poisoned the people of Flint and seeing that women get shit done! I still want to live long enough to witness the first female President.
