As I step into the voting booth to support our first female president, I will carry with me the spirit of my great-grandmother, Eleanor. A widow who defied societal norms, she invested every cent she had to ensure her daughters received a proper education—one became a physician, while the other, my grandmother, a dedicated social worker.
I will also honor my grandmother, Margaret, who during the Great Depression provided women with discreet access to vital birth control information, despite it being illegal at the time. She shared the contact details of what would later become Planned Parenthood with those in dire need of help.
Here’s a glimpse of Grandma Margaret, ready for her day, donning an outfit reminiscent of a pantsuit from her time. I, too, will be wearing a pantsuit, along with Eleanor’s cherished necklace and Margaret’s beloved brooch. I stand upon the foundation they built.
This narrative echoes the importance of women’s empowerment and the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
