"Harry and Febb Burn turned the tide for women's right to vote"

 

Thank you for your beautiful Inquirer piece about the mother and her senator son who turned the tide for suffrage. I read it with enormous gratitude that you had preserved this bit of history of which I knew absolutely nothing. I have copied the piece for several friends, and everyone wishes they could learn a bit more about this "standout couple" and the events of that summer. Would you be so good as to write back and offer a source or two? Also, I cut out the page without noting the date or page #, so I can't even cite your article properly.

I'm giving a talk to a feminist group next week in which I'll offer my spin on Election 2000. If you could help me out with references in the next few days, it would be great good luck for me and well earned PR for you.

Again, my compliments on a thrilling little piece of work. It's
not every day one reads the newspaper and feels the wiser for it.

I very much enjoyed your article on Harry and Febb Burn, since I am both the mother of a son and an admitted feminist. I had never heard before that Harry had to climb out a third floor window to escape the outraged mob. Wow! Taking that sentiment into consideration, don't you think the likes of Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt deserve some credit for moving the minds of those hundreds of male legislators to vote for Women's Sufferage?

Keep up the interesting writing.

Cynthia
