Women's Equality Day 2009
Nine-year-old Kiersten Aaberg displays her winning poster as part of the 2009 Women?s Equality Day drawing contest at the Hurlburt Youth Center. Aug. 26 is designated annually to observe the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The passing of the amendment was a culmination of a civil rights movement by women. The movement officially began in 1848 at the first women?s rights convention held at Seneca Falls, N.Y. Today, Women?s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, it also calls attention to women?s continuing efforts toward full equality.
