So, what was the question and WHO won? I had to be in a meeting at 8:30, so I missed it…
It was right up your alley, ele. A man from KCMO was the winner.
Kansas Trivia: Category, Women’s Rights. The nation’s first chapter of the League of Women Voters was formed in Kansas. Name the county where it was formed.
…
A: Sedgwick County. The nation’s first local chapter of the League of Women’s Voters was for in Sedgwick County in 1919. The 19th Amendment off the U.S. Constitution, which grants women the right to vote, was officially certified on Aug. 26, 1920. Kansas had ratified the Amendment in 1919. In 1912, Kansas had mended the state constitution to allow women to vote – the eighth state to do so.
Yes, that I knew, but it’s okay..I’ll get a copy of your book (why do we say a ‘copy’ of a book?–I don’t want a copy, I just want the book!). I even have a shirt with the August 26, 1920 date on it–and, of course, I forgot to wear it on Thursday. It’s somewhat surprising (?) to me that it took THAT long! Didn’t Thomas Jefferson write “all men are created equal?” –oh, that says MEN!
