#womensequalityday — Public Fediverse posts

On this day in 1920 the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote, officially became part of the U.S. Constitution: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

This day has been known since 1971 as
Women’s Equality Day.

#WomensEqualityDay #19thAmendment

Today is Women's Equality Day, a day celebrated in the US and a day important everywhere. Or shall we say it's a reminder of the inequality and inequity that's still prevalent across the world for folks who are not white cis men? Yes, we shall. We all need to do better. Today we learn again.

When nearly everyone was granted the right to vote across the world: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_suffrage

Let's continue leveling the playing-field, for everyone.

On #WomensEqualityDay a reminder that the 19th Amendment only gave white women voting rights.

BIPOC women waited decades more:
•1920: White Women
•1952: Asian Women
•1962: Native Women
•1965: Black Women
•1975: Latino Women

We must continue to protect voting rights—even now.

Happy Women’s Equality Day!!

Today, we honor the relentless courage and tireless efforts of women throughout history who have fought for equality and continue to break barriers. From the right to vote to equal pay, the journey has been long but is far from over. Let's keep pushing forward, empowering one another, and ensuring that equality is not just a word, but a reality for all women.

Although it took many years for all women to attain the right to vote, these diverse champions -Alice Paul, Jovita Idar, Patsy Mink , Mary McLeod Bethune, Debra Lekanoff, , Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt & others – were leaders in the #suffrage movement.

It's National Women's Equality Day.

For the record, I'd like to have more than one day.

(Yes, I know it celebrates the passage of the 19th Amendment 104 years ago in 1929--a mere 144 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 136 years after we were recognized as a sovereign nation with the Treaty of Paris in 1784, 132 years after the US Constitution was ratified by enough states to become the law of the land.)

Happy Women's Equality Day!

"[...] celebrated [...] on August 26 to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment [...] to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex."

As I told Debbie Laskey, while (unfortunately) no woman is exempt from gender bias, shattering the glass walls of gender bias IS possible.

Call it cosmic serendipity that we're celebrating @nasa mathematician Katherine Johnson's birthday on #WomensEqualityDay. ✨ Her calculations were critical to getting U.S. astronauts into orbit for the first time and paved the way for future missions like #Artemis! pic.twitter.com/9TYxQm6pmD https://twitter.com/NASAJPL/status/1563190784047792128

Happy Birthday, Katherine Johnson. She was born on this day in 1918. She calculated some of NASA’s most historic missions. NASA would not have its success without the brilliant mind of Katherine Johnson 🚀 #WomensEqualityDay

Very happy to spend #WomensEqualityDay @NASAAmes with @SpeakerPelosi and @RepAnnaEshoo! I was excited to share about @nasa’s #Artemis program which will send the first woman to the Moon, a stunning achievement that will inspire the next generation - the Artemis generation.

Today marks the halfway point of my extended mission on @Space_Station and also happens to be #WomensEqualityDay. Today I reflect on how the women who fought for the right to vote inspire me to work hard every day to make the world a better place, in ways both big and small.

Today, #WomensEqualityDay, marks the 99th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave (white) women the right to vote. Think of that struggle, the struggles for equality for all women still left to fight, and, if you haven't #RegisterToVote.
