table talk

In 1914 Bossie Hundley (I don’t even remember what her real name was anymore. Something boring, I think. But she signed all her documents Bossie and even her tombstone has Bossie on it) gave a yellow tea party in Birmingham, Alabama. It was a huge event with yellow candy, wafers, punch, flowers, etc.

The great thing about Bossie was her fearlessness. She wrote to every politician in Alabama and asked them their views on suffrage and how they intended to vote. In her questionnaire, she also included questions about their status as veterans, marriage status, and views on prohibition. If they didn’t respond, she sent one of her suffragettes to their office. Most of them filled out the questionnaire. And she kept all of them.

Today, if you look at the questionnaires, you will see a variety of answers. Some politicians were in favor. Some were not, because women were delicate flowers and not capable of understanding politics. (Seriously, there are a few of those. They are entertaining to read.) And then there are a few who were painfully honest. They said no, because they were afraid that if women got the right to vote, it would be a slippery slope to black voters. This they could not have. The reasoning: it would change elections. Their voting public was 10% of the population. If you let women and black people vote, they may not get reelected.

Just food for thought.
