90 years ago today, women got the right to vote. All women need to honor those who plowed on, undeterred, for Women's Suffrage by voting on August 24th in the Primary Election and on November 2 in the General Election.
If you believe that American women had it bad, watch this Power Point on Muslim women. This is the 21st Century and women are living as sub-humans.
The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits each state and the federal government from denying any citizen the right to vote because of that citizen's sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920.
August 26th of each year is designated in the United States as Women's Equality Day. Instituted by Rep. Bella Abzug and first established in 1971, the date commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave U.S. women full voting rights in 1920.
