Well, you male chauvinist pigs and female quislings (who are probably incels in drag), I am very proud to come from the second country in the world to give women the vote, in 1902. You make me want to dress in suffragette colours!

There were quite a few: Deborah Sampson (Robert Shurtlieff) and Margaret Corbin both took part in battles during your War of Independence, while Lydia Darragh was a clever spy. In the Civil War, there were Sarah Edmonds Seelye (Franklin Flint Thompson), Jennie Hodgers (Albert Cashier), and Loreta Janeta Velazquez (Lieutenant Harry Buford). During WWI, there was the British soldier Flora Sanders, also our Maud Butler, who tried to stow away on a troop ship bound for Gallipoli.
“The 1881 manifesto History of Woman Suffrage, written by luminaries Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Matilda Gave, argued vigorously that female front-line service proved that women should be accorded the same rights as male defenders of the republic. The Civil War changed the nation's perception of its citizens' capabilities and catalyzed a new push for equality not only between races, but between genders as well”.
