August – the month of Equality Day:
Someday Equality Day greeting cards will be sent, and standard printed calendars will note the date.
August 26th: the day to reflect on the challenges and achievements of the past struggles for women’s rights – the day to celebrate the progress made in gaining women’s rights…also how much more has to be done.
When the National Women’s History Museum is a central showpiece in our nation’s capital it will be the focus for further reflection and advancements and speed understanding and further progress.
Go NWHM Go!
