When I found out that Cynthia Lummis had endorsed Rand today, I was curious by her use of the title "Congressman" instead of "Congresswoman." It appears Diane Black and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee do the same thing.

Would you still call a female CONgresscritter a CONgresscritter? Hmmm?

OK made me wonder what the first woman in Congress went by as well. Still dunno, but . . .

Jeanette Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress - she cast the lone vote against World War II.
a notable quote of her's . . . "You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake"

A Woman on the $10 Bill


The US Treasury Department has announced that it would like to feature a woman (by law, a dead woman) on the $10 bill,
replacing incumbent Alexander Hamilton. They’ll ask for suggestions on a website (not yet launched) and over social media
with the hashtag #TheNew10.

Altho I know that a pacifist doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of making the final cut,
I’m nonetheless going to be pushing for Jeannette Rankin.

Marilyn Monroe would be my first choice for the $10 FRN pic.
