Women's Equality Day
Hey ladies!
Did you notice something different this morning? Did you wake up feeling freer, perhaps?
Cuz today is Women's Equality Day!
August 26th is designated in the United States as Women's Equality Day. Instituted by Rep. Bella Abzug and first established in 1971, it commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women full voting rights in 1920.
Did you know this? Hell, the White House web page even has a wee letter by the president on the subject. Yeah, me neither.
So I came up with a chant to celebrate the proper spirit of the occassion.
"What do we want?"
"Women's Equality?"
"When do we want it?"
"On August 26th and August 26th only."
For 364 days a year I can worry about equal pay, the inequality of medical research into women's healh (hello heart disease!) and domestic violence. But today I can kick back and chillax since it's my special day.
