idk it feels "triumphant" in the way a child's lemonade stand paid off their classmate's school lunch debt is triumphant. what she did today doesn't change the decades of disenfranchisement by her husband

I also know people love to find the silver lining with abuse and oppression. she had to wait out her husband to reach this point. that's fucking sad.

yeah presumably he was about as old as she is and there was nothing remarkable about him dying. it probably took 60 years of marriage for that garbage to take itself out. very little to celebrate here. she was born into a world with suffrage for women.
