There is a Mom, Dad, Violet and Chloe, and a brother Stephen. It is 1920. Chloe is in NY treating patients. Violet's friend, Flossie died of influenza (the Spanish flu). We know Chloe had run away from home to be a New Woman. Chloe believes women should go to college, have jobs, and have the same jobs as men. Violet is really upset that her mom has hidden these letters from her all this time.]]> 2023-03-20 13:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2523607946 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2525425973 Violet had 3.92$ and she spent 3.25$ on a train ticket. And she went to find her sister Chloe. She met someone named Mrs. Renwick on the train and she started talking to Violet she told Violet that girls could not be doctors or recorders.

When they get to the train, a guy asks them if they want to ride blind he tells them his name is Hobie. so they get on the back of the train right before it starts moving Violet and Myrtle sees that there is no place to hold on but they survive. once they are there Hobie goes and gets hobo stew they sleep in a broken-down car. The next day they get on a train and instead of being in the blind spot, they get in a cargo a few minutes later a breakman comes and grabs Myrtle and he asks Hobie if he has money he says no so he asks Violet if she has money and she says yes so he says that Violet has to give him 0.30$ and Hobie says 0.15$ they argue but eventually he agrees with 0.15$ and Violet gives him it and he lets go of Myrtle and he goes away when they get to Washington DC Violet says to Hobie "here you can have my money" but Hobie says "no thanks I already have money." ]]> 2023-03-30 12:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2538320103 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2548829588 Violet and Myrtle arrive in Washington DC and Violet says it does not look like she thought. Myrtle tells Violet to follow her they go into an alley and Myrtle goes into a hole in the wall of a house. And goes upstairs they both wash off
because they had a lot of soot on their clothes after that they go to a suffragist's house and ask her where the Susan B. Anthony Amendment and she says that it is at the Cameron house on the west side of Lafayette Square. They go there and Mrs. Dexter opens the door and asks who they are Violet says she is Chloe's sister and she lets them in.

Mr martin asks them where their parents are, Myrtle says that here's are dead and Vilet backs her up. Then he asks where Violets are and she says that they are at home in Susquanna he says that Violet should tell her parents that she is okay but not tell them where she is. And then after that they start talking about going to Nashville and they decide to take a train. They get on the visitor's car because it is cheaper and the guy says Myrtle must go to the colored section Mr martin argues that it is not the law in Washington but he says that they will be out of Washington in 2 to 3 minutes so myrtle goes down the aisle to the colored car.

Once she is there, she meets an old woman, who used to be a slave. the women told Myrtle that the admendment for women to vote would not include colored women. Myrtle is very stubborn and determined that colored women will have the right to vote.]]> 2023-04-21 16:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2563458134 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2565977865 In chapter 9, Violet and Myrtle realize that Mr. Martin is running away from the police. They don't know what he did wrong. Two men called Palmer agents tried to find Mr. Martin, and they question the suffragists about him and accuse the women of not being very intelligent because they are female. The two men treated the women like they were dumb. We see examples of inequality between men and women

It is unequal and unfair that women are not allowed to be part of the decision-making process. We meet Miss Charlotte Rowe, who accompanies Violet from the train station to where they are staying.

She goes to the anti-suffragist meeting but does not know it's anti and gets lots of sandwiches. Then she leaves and goes to her room. Then she goes outside and overhears people below her talking and they mention that Miss Meyhew is coming Violet rushes down the stairs and Chloe sees her they leave that hotel and go to the hotel that Chloe is in once they are there they go to sleep.]]> 2023-04-27 13:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2570410505 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2571785479 Violet woke up at the Tulane Hotel, ate breakfast, and realized that while she was at the Hermitage no one paid attention to her, so she was able to hear everything that the Antis were saying. She thought about how maybe she could be a spy and tell the suffs what they were doing. She then went to look for Mr. Martin and Myrtle and found them very dirty looking like hoboes at the train yard. Mr. Martin and Chloe had a heated discussion at first but then you can tell that they are glad to see each other. Myrtle is being treated unfairly, the desk clerk tells her she cannot stay at the hotel]]> 2023-04-28 13:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2571785479 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2573718423 In Chapter 13 we see the theme "inequality is injustice." We see it first on page 154 when Mr. Martin and Myrtle are trying to find food, and they sit at a counter. Instead of serving them, the boy calls the police because Myrtle is African American, and segregation laws and opinions at that time prevented her from eating in places where white people ate. At another place, Mr. Martin is told Myrtle can only be served in the alley, and after trying multiple places they end up eating in an alley because Myrtle isn't allowed to eat anywhere else. We also see This team on pages 155-157 when Myrtle isn't allowed to stay at any of the hotels they try for the same reasons she is not allowed to eat at restaurants]]> 2023-05-01 13:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2573718423 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2575206074 Myrtle tries to distract Mr. Martin so he won't go out and get arrested by talking to him about Chloe and hinting that they should get married and adopt her.

Violet and Chloe leave, drive through town and talk a lot about politics. People are switching sides a lot and is becoming tense. They go to the Capitol and they learn that 2 legislators have ran off. This is important because they need to vote (they are on the Suff side). Myrtle and Mr. Martin are at Dead Horse Alley
eating some snacks when Mr. Martin gets arrested and taken away. Mrs. Ready, the lady who owns the house, tells Myrtle she has somewhere for her to go and Myrtle is scared and nervous.]]> 2023-05-05 13:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2579555731 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2591526906 Violet has to find the two legislators that decided to "run away" instead of changing their vote. The suffragists need them to vote for the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. In order to find them, Violet has to drive the Hope chest (car) and it gets pretty crazy. She does it though! She finds Mr. Credwell and takes him back, and Mrs. Pollitzer finds Mr. Blotz. This time, Violet cannot find Chloe, Myrtle, or Mr. Martin. At the end of the chapter, we learned that the vote ended 10-8 so finding those two guys was very important.]]> 2023-05-15 15:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2591526906 jb62460 https://padlet.com/jb62460/g8o3k4z4z7hf745j/wish/2597578284 In this chapter, the women are given the right to vote! After the vote was delayed, people poured into the Capitol to see this special day. Mr. Burn reads a letter, it is from his mother. She is telling him to give women the vote and he does.
