Shirley Skinner, 100,
Profiled in Cosmopolitan
SCHENEVUS – At 100 years old, Shirley Skinner told Cosmopolitan magazine that she clearly remembered a time when she couldn’t vote.
“[As a child, I remember when] it was coming out that the women were going to get the right to vote. I was in the barn with the hired man, and [he] and Dad were talking, “Oh, it’s going to be the end of the world … They don’t know what they’re doing’,” she told writers Kathleen Kamphausen And Prachi Gupta .
Skinner was interviewed for the magazine as part of a series titled “Old Ladies Who Really, Really Want to See Hillary Clinton Become Our First Female President.”
“I followed [Hillary Clinton] from the beginning since she was First Lady,” she said. “They would ridicule her because she couldn’t make cookies, she was going to make something different, and I thought, Good thing, she’s going someplace.”
