Supporting #HopeForOurDaughters
Though I watched the new movie Suffragettes a few weeks back, it has really stuck with me. It has made me really think about and appreciate what our ancestors did to make the right to vote for women a reality. Many women fought and lost their lives, many were jailed and suffered so that women today could have the basic right to vote. It seems hard to believe that in some countries women are still fighting this battle. As part of the Suffragette’s movement, we have some interesting facts about firsts for women in armed forces, as well a special video this week called #HopeForOurDaughters that looks at injustices we must still overcome.

Alice falling down the rabbit hole, shrinking and then growing after drinking a bottle of who-knows-what that was labeled drink me, are just some of the fantastical visuals we enjoy in Alice in Wonderland. It is a story and classic movie that really opens up worlds of possibilities! I was so happy to see Tim Burton create a whimsical and other-worldly Alice in Wonderland movie a few years back. Have you seen this movie yet? I think it is best for tweens on up as there can be some scary parts for the littles.…
