Suffragist Not Suffragette

Thanks for using the proper term, suffragist, to describe the courageous women who fought for equal rights at the turn of the 20th century. Back then, these stalwart women considered the word suffragette, so often used today in discussions of the era, to be demeaning and dismissive of their actions.

So, Shorpy gets it right again.

Strange

The shape of the firebox is so strange. Very low and of course, no screen. She looks very happy to me, not the least lonely.

Mantelless

That is a great looking fireplace. Like the embossed edge around the opening that matches a frame on the brick above.
