Protests have been fueled by accusations that President Keïta stole a parliamentary election in March and installed his own candidates, and by anger at the government’s failure to address corruption and bloodshed that has plagued the country for eight years. New York Public Library; State Archives of Florida; National Archives; Library of Congress 7. A century ago today, the U.S. ratified the 19th Amendment, enshrining a woman’s right to vote in the Constitution. But the decades-long struggle didn’t end there. “Many historians talk about the suffrage movement continuing at least until 1965,” when the Voting Rights Act passed, said Veronica Chambers, the lead editor on a Times project commemorating the anniversary. “The timeline of how long women in the U.S. have had political power and independence is not as long as we tend to think it is.” [This visual history of the suffragist movement](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhHthgP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMC8wOC8xNy91cy9zdWZmcmFnZS1tb3ZlbWVudC1waG90b3MtaGlzdG9yeS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjAwODE4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIxMzk1Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTM2NDQ0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAMmBTPF92rHTYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) brings into focus how America’s largest-ever enfranchisement came to pass. President Trump said he would pardon Susan B. Anthony, the women’s suffragist who was arrested after voting illegally in 1872 and fined $100. The announcement appeared to be a bid to [appeal to female voters and narrow the large gender gap](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhHthgP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOC8xOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1zdXNhbi1iLWFudGhvbnktcGFyZG9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMDA4MTgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjEzOTUmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MzY0NDQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgAyYFM8X3asdNhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) that has him trailing Joe Biden.

Dr. Jen Gunter, who writes a column on women’s health for Styles, is thrilled about Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s new song, “WAP.” The artists are “exuberant” and the song “luxuriates in raunch,” [according to our music critic.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhHthgP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOC8wNy9hcnRzL211c2ljL3BsYXlsaXN0LWNhcmRpLWItbWVnYW4tdGhlZS1zdGFsbGlvbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjAwODE4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIxMzk1Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTM2NDQ0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAMmBTPF92rHTYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) For Dr. Gunter, though, the song is much more than that: It’s [homage to female sexuality and pleasure](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhHthgP0TTaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOC8xOC9zdHlsZS93YXAtY2FyZGktYi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjAwODE4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIxMzk1Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTM2NDQ0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAMmBTPF92rHTYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) that creates a platform to dispel misinformation about vaginas.

Library of Congress 9. America is about to lose a foot. For decades, U.S. metrologists — who study the science of measurement — have juggled two conflicting measurements for the foot. The first is the old U.S. survey foot from 1893. The second is the newer, shorter and slightly more exact international foot from 1959, used by nearly everybody except surveyors in some states. A lack of uniformity has resulted in the shortening of a downtown high-rise in the path of an airport runway, and some mix-ups among surveyors. [But by Jan. 1, 2023, the international foot will be the gold standard](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhHthgP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOC8xOC9zY2llbmNlL2Zvb3Qtc3VydmV5aW5nLW1ldHJvbG9neS1kZW5uaXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIwMDgxOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yMTM5NSZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0zNjQ0NCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKADJgUzxfdqx02FIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

Marcus Bridgewater, known to his TikTok followers as Garden Marcus, has built a following for his soothing videos about plant care. He began learning about plants in the garden of his adopted grandmother in Florida, but it wasn’t until adulthood that he really put his green thumb to work. “I saw this kind of reciprocation,” Mr. Bridgewater, who lives in Spring, Texas, said. “I found myself finding peace in my garden.” We spoke to him about [tending to a garden, which he says can be a symbiotic relationship](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhHthgP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOC8xOC9zdHlsZS9zZWxmLWNhcmUvc2VsZi1jYXJlLXBsYW50cy1nYXJkZW4tbWFyY3VzLXRpa3Rvay5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjAwODE4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIxMzk1Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTM2NDQ0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAMmBTPF92rHTYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) between plants and the people who take care of them by slowing down and letting nature be a healer.
