Hi, everyone!
I found an interesting article on today’s Tensei-jingo, Asahi shinbun.
‘There may be few Japanese who know the name of Jeannette Rankin. She was born in USA 1880, and the first female member of Congress. She led the activity of women’s suffrage in USA, and she is a counterpart of Fusae Ichikawa in Japan.’
I heard to her name for the first time, and I didn’t remember that it is the memorial day of the Pearl Harbor Attack today.
From wikipedia:
Jeannette Rankin (June 11, 1880 – May 18, 1973) was the first woman elected to the United States House of Representatives and the first female member of Congress. A lifelong pacifist, she was the only member of Congress to vote against United States entry into World War II and one of fifty to vote against World War I. Additionally, she led resistance to the Vietnam War. To date, she is the only woman to be elected to Congress from Montana.
Azalea, men were made from women, that’s right.
So, I’m looking forward to see you tomorrow. Good bye!

H, everyone.
Cherry, thank you for your information of Jeannette Rankin, you are right, she is a counterpart of Fusae. She met her.
Plum you have a touch of a cold, don't you? For me, it it difficult to read books in bed. Why not play in the imagination world. Isn't it useful for you? For example, it is said Queen Victoria objected against women suffrage. Why? If you had been a queen, at that time, what would you have thought about women suffrage? She was a woman. If you think of it and you find the queen's opinion, would you tell me?
Sometimes, ancient-time-people did not know many things or did not have information. In a sense, they could think freely, not constrained by formula or tradition. Answer is not only one. They could necesarily have try and error. I suppose the joy when they found the answer could be greater than a present person's.
Correction not NH4 but CH4 methane
sorry!
Hi, everybody
At last the day is coming, the day when we are getting together. How happy we have a good time together, especially we are waiting impatiently for seeing recovering Aoyama-sensei.
Well, today has been very busy day for me. One of my friend has held an exhibition of art-dyeing on paper and cloth in my small space areal. She learned the art in Okinawa, while she lived there following her husband’s job transfer. Many friends came to see her works. I enjoyed the luxurious time together. And I am happy another luxurious tome is waiting for me. SEE YOU TOMORROW. Let’s have a good sleep tonight to save energy for tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
