Denmark celebrates 100 years of equal voting rights! This was an interesting experience, though I couldn't personally understand most of what was going on. Apparently the queen doubles as a comedian. But after translation, I felt we learned at lot about the culture of Denmark and how it connects to women's suffrage. The queen is, in fact, the first queen of Denmark in a very long time because of the relatively recent changes in laws. I found it interesting that our women suffrage movement in the USA occurred around the same time, though we didn't pass the law for another 5 years. I wonder where the movement began.
