On Monday, August 26, we’ll celebrate Women’s Equality Day, the day that marks the anniversary of when the 19th Amendment was ratified. 

To honor this great day, we’ve got a video that celebrates how far women have come and notes how far we still have to go.

Here’s how the video breaks down:

  • 0:47 – Women’s equality is the right to be taken seriously for your brain, your values, your choices.
  • 1:17 – Pants!
  • 1:42 – Stock options, credit cards, owning property – yup, this is all thanks to the movement for women’s equality.
  • 2:05 – No more MRS. degrees. Women can actually use their degrees in a professional career.
  • 2:27 – We’re not done.
  • 2:32 – Inequalities in sports….
  • 2:49 – Women’s underrepresentation in business, education, politics….
  • 3:16 – Today, we’re grateful for how far we’ve come.

Happy Women’s Equality Day!
