Carolyn Bevers: The first one is right after the knee replacement surgery. A woman lying in bed, her hair on her pillow, smiling.

I’m 65, and recuperating from my 2nd knee replacement surgery on December 6, 2016. I had my right knee replacement surgery on January 7, 2016 and will have some follow-up surgery on that knee in a few months. Although, I cannot march in Washington D.C. on the 21st, I will be ‘marching’ at my walker with you all! Had it not been for all the brave women and men, in England and the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, who sacrificed much for the equality of women, we in this 21st century, would not be in the position to speak up, often, and loudly!
