Women's Equality Day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Equality_Da…
August 26, 2010
Objective:
Commemorating the signing of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution (Women's Suffrage) and recognizing the continued struggles women face.
On August 26th, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, recognizing the right of women to vote, was signed.
Obviously, passage of the Amendment didn't come easily. The names of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have passed into legend on account of the struggles they faced in rallying public opinion to their cause, and both passed away before seeing their dream of women's suffrage become a reality.
And it's not like everyone was suddenly in favor of women's suffrage once the vote was granted to women. Even after the Amendment passed, some states still refused to officially go on record in favor of the Amendment as late as 1984.
And that's just the issue of women's suffrage in the US. Women still struggle to have their equality recognized in all sorts of ways all over the world. This day is an opportunity to recognize this struggle.

The international recognition of suffrage is a great accomplishment, without a doubt. But the equality our laws provide is not always mirrored in the real world. Suffrage, as huge a step as it was, is only one part of creating any real equality.
