In 1890, in the year that Elsa Poortje was born, on June 1st, the U.S. Census Bureau started tabulating census returns with punch cards.

In 1906, Elsa was 16 years old when Finland became the first European country to give women the vote and to allow them to run for political office. (Women in Australia and New Zealand already had that right but couldn't run for office.) Although Finland belonged to the Russian Empire, there was great unrest and the Tsar wanted to broker a quick peace. As a part of the brokered peace, women got the vote.
