I also really enjoyed this article and fully believe that Ruby Doris Smith Robinson is a role model that all people should look up to. She was involved in the movement because it was something that she really believed in, and she truly did not want any publicity out of it, which I loved reading because a lot of times today when someone does something good its always wondering if they did it because they cared or because they wanted the attention. I also enjoyed reading about how their femininity came under attack because of their leadership positions- but I'm also wondering how often this still happens today?- Elizabeth Frank | I also really enjoyed this article and fully believe that Ruby Doris Smith Robinson is a role model that all people should look up to.
