All men and women are created equal. Nowadays, women being allowed to vote doesn’t seem so unusual or surprising, right? But it took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to pass the 19th Amendment, which gave American women the power to vote and have a say in running our democracy. Over the last hundred years, the world has seen more than ever what women are capable of achieving if given the opportunity. Join us on Women's Equality Day as we celebrate some of the accomplishments from each decade of the past century.
