Someone responded to the post: “SMH.” To which my friend replied: “Smh isn't even enough.” I’m so out of touch I had to look up ‘SMH’. Once enlightened, I almost joined in with “It’s time for all us ‘average’

Aileen, now a young adult at age 18, had made it to Colorado where she got her first arrest.

Eventually, Alice Paul is arrested for the same charge and throws a shoe out a window in the prison as a protest to the lack of clean and breathable air in the sewing workshop.
