That idea dates back to circa 415 B.C.; the movement in the U.S. goes back little more than a century. The first major effort, led by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, culminated in 1848 with the convocation of the Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, N.Y. For that convention, Stanton drafted a Declaration of Sentiments, stating in part that "we hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal," and demanding the right to vote, to equal educational and vocational opportunities, and to an ending of legal discrimination against women.

...performers are clearly ready for the wider exposure the Leventritt award will bring. "Now," says Pinky, "the serious business is starting." Meantime, the other business continues. Three hours after the competition, Pinky was back at Juilliard for the dress rehearsal of a student opera production of The Rape of Lucretia, in which he is just another fiddle player...
...Durer's contemporaries and followers reacted to this period of artistic transition. The show's four drawings by Grunewald, working within the Late Gothic style, sacrifice the cold solidity of form, which was part of the Renaissance style, to intense emotional expressionism.

In the final hours of the campaign, Pierre's people mailed 4,000,000 postcards, each bearing a blue-bordered photo of Kennedy...
...struggle concerns Senator Clair Engle, 52, who is recuperating from a brain operation. Most California politicians feel that Engle cannot possibly conduct a vigorous re-election campaign, let alone represent a key state in Washington, and they want him to retire. Engle's wife, Lucretia, is fighting hard to keep him in the race. The liberal California Democratic Council has already rejected Engle and instead has endorsed State Controller Alan Cranston. Governor Brown, a longtime political colleague of Engle's, announced his support for Cranston...
