I’m at a medical conference today. I guess that’s a form of equality in some way. After all, it wasn’t all that long ago there were few women in medicine. 🙂

Hi Carrie! Are you enjoying the conference? And you’re right, so here’s to more women employed in fields that weren’t as open to us as in the past, with the same pay as men.

That’s cool! I didn’t realize there was a day for it. I work in a predominantly male environment, but I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to work in my occupation at all. The playing field is evening out, which is great. 🙂

Yes. I’m curious and excited for the centennial in 2020. The goal is to have a woman on the $20. Womenon20s.org did a poll/survey and Harriet Tubman was the people’s choice.

Yay for equality!!!!! We need more of it!
I wish I could’ve done something to celebrate but I’ve been making downloadable PDFs. I guess that counts though because I’m trying to furthering my career as a woman.

I didn’t know there was a Women’s Equality Day. I’m glad there is one. I always vote, and I bring my kids with me so they’ll grow up to be voters, too. Women have made progress with equality, but there’s still a long way to go. Forward, ho!!

Yes, we still have a ways to go. And that’s so great that you bring your kids to vote. I’ve brought mine on occasion, when I’m able to. It’s always best to instill in them from an early age the importance of voting.
