Women’s Equality Day celebrates the achievements of women’s rights activists and reminds us of the unique daily struggles that women face.  The right to vote, the cornerstone of democracy, belongs to all citizens — but this wasn’t always the case. To claim their voice, women began agitating for the right to vote in the early 19th century.  The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, ensures voting rights for everyone regardless of gender.  To make sure women are not oppressed by anyone we need to empower them with education.  Here are some good reads to learn more: Mr. President How Long Must We wait? - Tina Cassidy; The Women's Suffrage Movement - Sally Roesch Wagner; Woman, Suffrage & Politics Carrie Chapman Catt & Nettie Rogers Shuler. Event Cost-FREE -- All these books are available from the So Co Library. Event Location:  Your own home--Cuddle up with a cup of tea or coffee and read a good history book.  Spread the word--Share what you learn with a friend, daughter, son, or grandchild.
