		Lucy's less-than-efficient secretarial skills and wacky hijacks frequently infuriate her boss, but somehow she is loyal to him not matter what.
		Like in "I Love Lucy", Lucille's character fawning over the movie stars is very amusing and even though the series was made a decade after "I Love Lucy", she still does much of her physical comedy pretty well.
		Lucy's humor is much tamer than anything else that was on TV 10 years ago (even the cartoons) but you can't help but roll around laughing with every episode.

	Excerpts from: A History of the American Suffragist Movement, © The Moschovitis Group, Inc.
		Catt, like Lucy Stone in the case of the Fifteenth Amendment, was willing to accept half-victories while working for the larger goal; she saw political action as a chess game with a long series of moves that she could win with cleverness and patience.
		In October 1917 they began a campaign to draw attention to themselves as political prisoners, arguing that they were in jail because of their ideas, rather than for the petty crimes that were the ostensible reason for arrest.
		Burns went without food for almost three weeks; only when she was too weak to resist did her guards finally manage to force-feed her.

		She won appointment as the new chairman for the Congressional Committee (CC), with Burns as her vice-chairman (neutral gender, remember) — but only then on the understanding that her Committee would raise its own funds and would not have access to the NAWSA treasury.

		Since Lucy was a blockbuster Hollywood presence, she was able to haul in the "heavy-hitters" and in this case it is John Wayne and George Burns.
		I bought the DVD for the John Wayne segment as I watched it as a child of perhaps 12 years old, and recalled it to be one of my favorites.
		John Wayne is as big a star as ever, and his screen presence on the "small screen" of television does not diminish his visual impact.

		This picture is from the HBO movie "Iron Jawed Angels", which portrays the struggles of Suffragists such as Alice Paul, whose hard work and sacrifices led to President Wilson to introduce the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote (though it wouldn't be ratified until 1920).
		In 1912 Philadelphia, young suffragist activists Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor) have a meeting with Carrie Chapman Catt (Anjelica Huston) and Anna Howard Shaw (Lois Smith) of NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association, formed in 1890 by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton).
		Paul and Burns want to press for a constitutional amendment for women to have the right to vote, but the older women prefer a state-by-state approach.
