Many Michigan women are standing on the shoulders of the women who stood tall, never yielding, and always moving forward to fight for justice and the right to vote. In the coming days, weeks and months we will find out if Sen. Clinton will be come the second “come back kid” in her family as she tries to overtake Sen. Obama and become the first woman from either major political party to be their party’s standard bearer in a run for the most powerful political office in the world - President of The United States of America. As the old Virginia Slims camel cigarettes commercial used to claim: “We have come a long way baby!” It will be nice to see the day when America catches up with Great Britain, Germany, Israel and other enlightened nations that for years have been tapping the leadership abilities of women for their highest office. We shall see if 2008 becomes the year when the Suffrage Movement’s battle cry: “The true republic-men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less” becomes the ultimate reality.
