This kiddo working on a #WomensHistoryMonth project about a "shero" asked if we could video chat w/ his mom about #AlicePaul. The best! Reply or DM if your child would like the same. It will give you a home school break. Who knows, my kids may even make an appearance. Discussion topics: voting rights, protest movements, suffrage... Open to requests. #remotelearning #distancelearning #homeschool #stayhome #stayhealthy #staysmart #history #suffrage #suffragecentennial #suffrage100 #19thamendment #coronadaze #MrPresidentHowLongMustWeWait
This is a little slice of my happy place. Is it weird that I keep looking at it, beckoning it to bring more light into a world that desperately needs it right now? Come on, please? #coronadaze #writerstears #writing #stayhome #inittogether

Last year a group of women drafted a chapter for an upcoming book on the American presidency. In a book otherwise written by and about men, this was their chance to provide a new perspective on the lives and candidacies of the women who have run for the highest office in the country. They carefully searched for comprehensive sources on milestones for women as candidates and leaders. But this proved to be a challenge. Not because there were too few "notable women" to count but rather because many of the existing records detailing this these women were incomplete. That's when they decided to create a calendar. For each month, and as many days as they could find records for, they honor a particular milestone for women in politics, or the birthdays of women leaders who inspire us. Thanks for sending me this @represent_women. I am learning things every day. Including that women's history does not fit just into the month of March! #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #suffrage100 #suffragecentennial #19thamendment #alicepaul
OK, I won't push the button. Also, this town is on it. #coronadaze #brookline

I traded a pack of toilet paper that I bought over a month ago for this. I think I got the better deal. #covidkindness #writerstears #toiletpaper #whiskey
Thanks to Angela P. Dodson and @bdlev for sending me a copy of the 100th anniversary edition of Jailed for Freedom: A First-Person Account of the Militant Fight for Women's Rights. Angela wrote a new intro to this essential primary source text for what has mostly been an forgotten chapter in American history. A lovely addition to my suffrage library. #suffrage100 #suffrage100MA #sufffrage #votesforwomen #voting #vote #ERANow #ERA #alicepaul #suffragecentennial #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #history #herstory

So we're driving through rural western NY state and stop for this: the first woman to run for president (twice, in 1884 and 1888) was Belva Lockwood, born here on this spot in a log cabin in 1830. She was also the first woman to argue before the Supreme Court and she marched in the 1913 suffrage parade. #putus #scotus #suffragist #suffragecentennial #suffrage100 #royalton #ny #booktour #MrPresidentHowLongMustWeWait #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #badasswomen #eeriecanal
Beef. On. Weck. It's a thing. And I ate it. And it was delish. As were the wings. #buffalofood #ny #thingsyoulearnonbooktour #foodcoma #byefornow #lockport
These Brookline High School students invited me to speak to about 80 of their classmates today as part of their #womenshistorymonth programming. We discussed the suffrage movement and its parallels today. Mira, on the left, founded the Women in History Club at BHS because, as she said, "I was tired of not being represented in history class." Amen to that. It's time to make history curricula more accurate. I hope the audience was as inspired by the story of the suffrage movement (and the work that remains around voting rights) as I was by them. 💜 #womenshistory #MrPresidentHowLongMustWeWait #suffrage #suffragecentennial #vote #voting #votingrights #GOTV #supertuesday #alicepaul #idabwells #suffragists #woodrowwilson #book #bookstagram #bookclubbook #leagueofwomenvoters #lwv #bhs #brooklinehighschool #brookline #education @brooklinehighschool
March is madness over here! My book Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait: Alice Paul, Woodrow Wilson and the Fight for the Right to Vote just came out in paperback in time for Women’s History Month. And I’ll be traveling around the Northeast speaking to audiences over the next four weeks, including: 3/6 Niagara University (NY) 3/7 Kennan Center (NY) 3/14 Acton Library (MA) 3/19 Howard County Library (MD) 3/22 Historic Hudson Valley (NY) 3/26 Stoughton Library (MA)....plus Stoughton is doing a two-month town-wide read of the book starting today!! As my husband said, that’s a generous amount of time because it’s a page-turner. He’s the best! The full list for the upcoming tour with details is on my website www.tinacassidy.info #womenshistorymonth #MrPresidentHowLongMustWeWait #suffrage #suffragecentennial #vote #voting #votingrights #GOTV #supertuesday #alicepaul #idabwells #suffragists #woodrowwilson #book #bookstagram #bookclubbook @simonandschuster @simonbooks @dawnldavis @anthony.flint @atriabooks @niagarauniversity @kenanlockport @actonlibrary @hocolibrary @inthevalley1 #stoughtonpubliclibrary #leagueofwomenvoters #lwv
