Brilliant women have proven stereotypes incorrect throughout the past century, demonstrating what women can do from Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosa Parks that were part of civil rights fights and to famous scientists like Marie Curie, and Rosalind Franklin. The past century has shown more than ever the things that women are capable of doing.

Women’s equality today has evolved to include a lot more than simply the ability to vote. Bodies such as Womankind Worldwide continue to strive to ensure that women everywhere have equal access to education and employment and combat oppression and violence against women and prejudice and stereotype. Every year, the President reads a proclamation honoring trailblazers in this civil rights struggle.

WOMEN’S Equality Day

S

ince its beginning in 1971, Women’s Equality Day has been celebrated on August 26 in the United States, celebrating American women’s development and progress on the way to equality. Many institutions, organizations, libraries, and businesses, have celebrated the day by organising events and activities that honor the journey of women on the way to equality. This day commemorates a watershed moment in the history of the fight for women’s equality and rights. It all began from the 1970 National Organization for Women (NOW) strike which was a huge success in showing the breadth of support for women’s rights. The strike also aided in adopting the Equal Rights Amendment by Congress in 1972. In 1971, Congress designated August 26 as Women’s Equality Day, commemorating not only the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment but also the ongoing efforts of women to attain complete equality. The legislation made it illegal for the federal government and states to deny individuals the right to vote because of their gender. 134
