Check out this story from The New York Times, circa 1916, about legendary Suffragette icon and former Rep. Jeannette Rankin, R-Mont., the first woman ever elected to Congress.
On the other hand, the language is not nearly as shocking as you find in the paper’s coverage of race.

That is very interesting. Thank you for pointing it out. How did you ever find a story that old?

I wish I could say some special sleuthing led me to that Times article. I had followed a post elsewhere about Hillary making a gaffe while invoking Rankin and that post contained a link to this article.
I took the opportunity to tweak the Times because it has a shameful history that it has never had to answer for because it is, well, the freaking New York Times.
Thanks for reading.
