The Mom: Just so you girls know, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920 gave women the right to vote in America. Less than a century ago. And in fact, today happens to be National Women’s Equality Day.
The 10 y.o.: But why? Why do we need a special day? I thought we *were* equal.
The Mom: The day is to commemorate women getting the right to vote.
The 13 y.o.: Well why isn’t there a Google doodle? I mean if the Google people make doodles to honor obscure 16th century French scientists and an Austrian physicist’s cat, the LEAST they could do is make a doodle to honor women’s equality. Right?
