US friends, did you know about the 1907 Expatriation Act?

TIL that, in 1907, Congress enacted a statute that stripped women of citizenship if they married a non-citizen. SCOTUS upheld this law in 1915. It was fully reversed in 1940, but women who'd lost citizenship weren't eligible for redress if they'd ever resided abroad while married.

I know I have to stop reading things about our shaving cream sandwich of a world for a while, but for fudge's sake.

The cruelty we've *always* been fighting.
