Did Carrie Chapman Catt risk her life?

not really because she was just telling the government that women voting was just as important as men and African American men voting. see the Governor let African American men vote but not women and that was really rude. the American constitution stated that everyone was free to vote but that was not true so the women said that it was not fair that men got to vote and the American constitution stated that everyone could vote when they could not.

so now you see why Carrie Chapman Catt was not risking her life.

What do women think about crossdressing?

to each their own. I guess it depends on how far a person takes it.

Allow me to speak from experience of a cross-dresser. I can't of course speak for women themselves. As suggested above, the reactions can vary. One woman I know was extremely put off by it, though not to the point of actually cutting off contact with me. By talking it through, I came to understand why she disliked it, and she didn't judge me because of it. Another woman, with whom I was in a long-term relationship, went to the other extreme. She enjoyed it on a regular basis, taking part in the whole process and going out in public with me. She claimed to find it a "bit of fun" and (let's be delicate here) seemed to get a little excited by it. Note of course that we did discuss it openly. When she had concerns, she was free to let me know. And vice versa. She was concerned at first she would be losing her boyfriend, but with a bit of time she saw that this really was not the case at all. Not all women I've been with have been so involved, but most have been understanding to one degree or another, or at least willing to discuss it. Note that I am not a full time cross-dresser by any means - it is simply something I sometimes do for fun more than any other reason. However honesty and trust seems to be the most important consideration.

What was the most famous thing the suffragettes did?

Well, the suffragettes were formed to give women equal rights as men and be allowed to vote. Their protest was that they worked and had to follow laws they couldn't vote for. So they tried to protest but were ignored, one of the biggest things was that at the horse races their leader threw herself under a horse to prove their point became a famous marter but the government said that they couldn't give women votes if they were stupid enough to do that. I know this may be a bit of a lame thing to say but go on you-tube and look at the Horrible Histories Suffragette song, it explains the whole thing in a simple song.
