Now, the ceiling is smashed!
The sky is the limit!
Let masculinity take
a back seat to
Women drivers
at long and welcomed last!

Take heart, you girls!
Of all the ages,
your time has come!
Spine up, you men,
and cheer with that deep
and guttural primal scream,
for your mothers, sisters
and daughters have their day
at long and welcomed last!

In her speech last night, Hillary Rodham Clinton made strong affirmations, strong assertions—while accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States.

This is a good one:

“I can’t put it any better than Jackie Kennedy did after the Cuban missile crisis. She said that what worried President Kennedy during that very dangerous time was that a war might be started, not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men, the ones moved by fear and pride.”[1]

Images:

Julia Ward Howe wrote the words for “The Battle Hymn of the Republic in 1861; then she battled on the front and early lines with the suffragettes!

Hillary Rodham Clinton, the barrier buster—the proof, the payoff for centuries of progress!
