1. Amazing.

One thing that struck me is that all of these women are highly accomplished thenselves. They had carreers, nany went to university, etc.. no small feat back then when considering how discriminatory it was for women then. Maybe it is also a secret fir longevity?

2. I think that a lot of research on long-lived people has found that they

are very active, engaged, lively thinkers and doers.

But of course, this may be confounded in that long life may be genetically linked to those traits in the first place.

In any case, cheers to them

4. I just sent this to everyone I could think of, including work. Thanks.

You're all more connected to social media than I am, so, please, send this around. It's not political. It just has these adorable women who were born before 1920, and it should be shared.

“This election means that women can achieve anything. In 1937 I was accepted into the medical school at Duke University. I decided not to attend because female students were required to sign a pledge stating that they would not marry while in school. The male students did not have to sign and did not have the same restriction. I did not think that this was fair.”
