Today (August 26) is Womens Equality Day...91 years ago women got the right to vote. And, for the most part, vote we do...Yet for some reason, we are not equal--Women still earn substantially less then men (even in the same jobs)and that translates into less social security/pensions/retirement incomes.
Women do not even make up 20% of the House (16.7%) or Senate (17%)--we are ranked 70th (see http://www.ipu.org/wmn-e/classif.htm); in state legislatures women make up 23.6%.
Women's voices are still not equally represented in op/eds in Newspapers and Magazines, on television, in films....
Yes, we have made some strides--but NOT ENOUGH.
