William Lindsey :toad: on Nostr: My grandmother had a head on her shoulders and was not about to let any man tell her ...
My grandmother had a head on her shoulders and was not about to let any man tell her how to vote -- or that she couldn't vote. So to pay my grandfather back for his opposition to the vote for women, she would refuse, election after election, to tell him for whom she voted. "The ballot is sacred," she'd say, smiling -- and letting him think she had deliberately cancelled out his vote.
My grandfather died as the Depression hit.
