I am so excited tonight, experiencing not just the making of history, but the making of progress American mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, great-great-grandmothers -- as far back as we could count -- FOUGHT for.
Even in our own lifetimes, things have changed -- especially for those of us over 50. I know we have much farther to go, but tonight let's celebrate what we are witnessing. I keep thinking, "I remember when" ... "and now we're on our way to electing America's first woman president!!"
I remember when I wasn't allowed to wear pants to school -- only skirts or dresses -- and now we're on our way to electing America's first woman president!!
I remember when sexual harassment was the norm, going to work was like going into battle and there was NO recourse at all -- and now we're on our way to electing America's first woman president!!
I remember when "What do you want to be when you grow up?" wasn't even asked of us girls, and the choices were secretary, nurse, teacher, or ballerina -- and now we're on our way to electing America's first woman president!"
I could go on and on... But I would love to know what you remember, while we're on our way to electing America's first woman president!!!!
