Gee, I would have pegged her as a vivisectionist.

At least the courts of appeals overturned her conviction. The whole story is worth reading in addition check out her story on Wikipedia.

Thought she was gonna be Ma Barker or someone like that. And to think, this crazed sex maniac would soon be afforded the right to vote! 😝

She deserves a medal. Apparently there is no good deed that will go unpunished.

Considering she was 65 in 1919 the medal would be posthumous.

If God wanted you women to know about sex He've given y'all your very own chapter in The Book.

And I don't want to hear any @#$#@ about how The Book was written by men!
