To commemorate the 100th anniversary of women securing the right to vote in this country, arts writer Mayumi Tsutakawa chronicles the lives and accomplishments of five local geniuses you may not have heard about in school. You'll learn of Imogen Cunningham, a chemist and acclaimed photographer who took pics of movie stars without makeup before it was cool; Ruby Bishop, a jazz legend who toured with Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington, and ended up tickling the ivories at Vito's well into her 90s; artist Priscilla Chong Jue, who ran local shops specializing in textiles; journalist and socialist Seattle School Board member Anna Louise Strong, who led hiking parties to Mount Rainier's summit in her spare time; and the great linguist Vi Hilbert, who was named a Living Treasure in 1989 in part for preserving one of the primary Coast Salish languages. by Rich Smith
