The People Behind Your Dinner
A Letter From Alice Paul
I hope you are all doing well. As you probably know, yesterday, American women won the right to vote! As you read this, please do not forget the bravery and sacrifices that enabled this right. As a survivor of prison, force feeding, and jeering, I know those things can be hard to stand. However, if you have true conviction in the truth of your actions, the torment becomes so much less so. Going to prison for a few months is much preferable than being forced to blindly follow your country's rules. And when you withstand all these things and still have heart and passion left, then people will respect you. I've seen much greater respect for my ideas and self than ever before.
Also, never forget my fellow women and our mistakes during the suffrage movement. We became angry amongst ourselves, and divided. Our division led to others viewing us as foolish, and this caused our cause to be taken less seriously for a while. It took much more time and effort to pass our amendment. High- hatting each other is never a good idea.
Remember that, "It is better, as far as getting the vote is concerned, I believe, to have a small, united group than an immense debating society."
Hoping for a swell future,
Alice Paul
The Progress of Progressives
The mine entrance, a symbol of working class conditions, is labeled by a wooden sign. There is a new sign over the last one, which can still be seen and reads "Profit First". The overlaying sign shows safety is now the most important thing in the mine, which represents how Progressives changed Americans' minds to believe in safe treatment. Luckily, this national idea of "Safety First" continues to be a defining factor in our workplaces.

How Americans at Home Helped the War Effort
The Charleston, and a Dancing Champion
The Charleston has been a big hit among the Flapper girls, but is it here to stay? I think so. With the Charleston, you must wear a short dress or skirt, and have plenty of mobility. As the Flappers age, their younger counterparts will likely continue this new tradition of more freeing dresses and being able to dance, whether or not they have a man with them. The Charleston, like the movies and the right to vote, is enjoyable, new, and freeing. Women, once they have experienced these freedoms, are unlikely to go quietly back to a life of long dresses and the Two- Step. Flappers, look forward to seeing your grandchildren dancing along to the Charleston, long after you've lost the moves to dance along.
But where did this craze come from? A New York dancer, Bea Jackson, started "Charlestoning", and gave the rest of America the "bug". Jackson is also a world Charleston Champion.
