Happy Women's Equality Day!

Thanks to Rep. Bella Abzug who first established this day (Aug. 26) in 1971 to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment!

Glass half-empty view of today:
-It took women 72 years of ceaseless campaigning to finally win the right to vote in 1920.
-A women only makes $.77 to a man's dollar.
-The US is near the bottom of the list for quality childcare for children of working parents.
-Women still only make up 16 percent of our representatives in Congress.
-Hillary is not going to be president - or vice president (thanks a lot B.O.) - this time.

Bottom line: We have a long haul before women are treated truly equal in this country.
