Did you ever realize that Bella Abzug had such a pronounced kyphosis of the cervical vertebrae?

Damned old people.  Then they have the nerve to DIE on you.

It's easy.  Look at her back and look at Shirley McLaine's back.  One is flat  (Shirely McLaine's) and one has a huge bone sticking out and curved. That is Kyphosis or Dowager's hump to the layman.

Actually, Kyphosis usually refers to the thoracic region, not the neck.

Dowager's hump: An abnormal outward curvature of the thoracic vertebrae of the upper back. Compression of the front portion of the involved vertebrae due to osteoporosis leads to forward bending of the spine (kyphosis) and creates a hump at the upper back. Like most osteoporotic changes, it is often preventable. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at August 31, 2017 2:47 AM MDT

I'm still confused ... but what else is new :) i don't know of either those  women in pic. And I don't care for either of their backs.

Lucky for you that I do.  You are the one that answered, not me.  I tried to explain.  If you don't care, that is your business.

Humpfff to you. Humpfff, I say.  This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at August 30, 2017 2:30 PM MDT

That is what I noticed too.

Abzug declared, "This woman's place is in the House—the House of Representatives", in her successful 1970 campaign. She was later appointed to chair the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and to plan the 1977 National Women's Conference by President Gerald Ford and led President Jimmy Carter's commission on women.

I was a kid growing up in New York when she was very politically active.  She was a great inspiration to me.

She may have won if she were alive today and fought the Donald.
