Back on Feb 1st, I posted a quickie history quiz on this blog. In case you couldn't sleep at night wondering what the right answers were, here they are — plus a few questions that may spark some stories …

1. A: In 1933, Frances Perkins became the first woman to serve in the President's cabinet — a huge step for women, since they were only allowed to vote 13 years before. Now a woman is running for President herself. Q: What changes to women's rights or opportunities have you seen in your lifetime?

2. A: John F. Kennedy appeared on national TV on Meet the Press. Yeah, it's been on TV that long, amazing.  Q: Do you remember JFK, or do your parents? What impression did he make on you, or on them?

3. A: In 1952 a rebellion against the British in Kenya was referred to as the Mau Mau Rebellion. Q: What changes in the "mother continent", Africa, have occurred in your lifetime? Have you been to Africa?

4. A: Louise Brown, born in 1978, was the world's first test tube baby.  Q: What technological "wonders" have you seen in your lifetime? How have they affected you?

5. A: In 1968, North Korea seized the ship USS Pueblo as she sailed in international waters.  Q: What is the first potentially dangerous world event that you remember? Were you afraid war was coming?

6. In 1940s slang, your "hinges" meant your elbows. Q: What slang did you use when you were younger that sounds pretty funny today?

Share your stories! In a few days, I'll post a new mini-history quiz, again offering a drawing for a free copy of my book Making History.
