Thanks Debra. I love learning these types of stories. We were in Seneca Falls once and wanted to visit the museum there. I imagine Amelia is there too. But that is when the government shut down and all national sites like that were closed. It is north of the Finger Lakes in mid New York. May try to go back there someday and now will know to look her up!

I liked her story too. Amazing the wonderful stories of people from history we don’t know about!~

I need to start reading biographies so I can appreciate all that my predecessors have done to make my way of life possible. I especially liked the quote about being out of the sphere of submitting to laws when it was out of their sphere to make them.

So glad you shared her remarkable story here today. As women, we owe so much to pioneers like Bloomer for the reforms and freedoms we enjoy in the present day. Blessings!
