Today's historic image comes to us from the
Alabama Department of Archives and History. This fetching lady is Lurleen Burns Wallace; she was the first female governor of Alabama and wife of Former Governor George Wallace. (Yes, they were both governors, and accusations abound regarding Lurleen acting simply as George's puppet.) George's name may sound familiar because he was staunchly against desegregation, but mellowed with age.
I am so capitaved by this photo. I think it's because she is saddling both sides of the gender fence. She is doing something typically male-oriented, yet, her hair is clearly done and not a lock out of place, save the adorable curl in the forehead - love that Aqua Net. Awesome.
