In many places, the army initially refused to attack the demonstrators, & I heard this was because the soldiers were serving in the same areas they came from & knew the people they were ordered to attack. Of course, that changed later...were soldiers sent to different places where they didn't know the local population? Or was there some other reason?

In the Civil Rights Movement, arrested women were frequently subjected to cavity searches. I had to squat in my underwear, in Atlanta, but many were examined internally.

The low number of women elected has been attributed in part to their being listed last on the ballots. Do the guests know who made the decision to structure the ballots? Who was in charge of making up the ballots, & who, if anyone, was able to see them ahead of time & object to the women's names all being put at the end?

Women of all "shapes and sizes"? Yep stay over there where that kind of talk is acceptable.
