Recognize.

Feministing wishes the 19th amendment a Happy 85th Birthday today!
In 1971, the U.S. Congress designated this date as “Women’s Equality Day” in recognition of women’s right to vote, which was achieved in 1920.
The National Women’s History Project gives us some ideas of how to celebrate this special day, like praising women in your workplace who have made significant contributions, making timelines and posters to put on display, or putting together a scrapbook about significant women in your community.
While I dig the scrapbook suggestion, these ideas make me feel like I’m in the 5th grade. Does anyone have more innovative and fun ways we could celebrate — whether it be something small, like blowing a party horn in your sexist co-worker’s face, or having a big ole Happy Hour O’ Equality?
