General Discussion

I turned 18 in 1968. If the voting age had changed a little sooner, I could have voted in my first presidential election that year, but I had to wait till '72.

I was 21 when I voted for Shirley Chisholm in the primary, and by the time the general election rolled around, I was 22.

If someone had told me then that 54 years later, I would turn 76 in a country that had STILL not elected a woman president, I wouldn't habe believed it.
