Great photo. Some pretty good schools represented there. The photo is from the Library of Congress. I still can’t believe how recently women won the right to vote. It hasn’t even been 100 years yet.

Mary Poppins - Sister Suffragette

Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they’re rather stupid

I love this song so much. I’ve always thought it a little random and surprisingly political for a Disney movie. I’ve often wondered if it was a because the movie came out in 1964 and was an homage to the early suffragettes at the dawn of second wave feminism. It’s completely unnecessary for the plot, so someone deliberately added it.
