At Straub Collaborative we believe it’s important to remember just how far women’s rights in the U.S. have come. In 1920, the 19th Amendment was signed into law in the U.S., granting some women the right to vote. This was a major step forward in the recognition of voter rights. Yet, it would be another 45 years before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would prohibit racial discrimination in voting, and thus allow women of color the right to vote in the many states where they had remained disenfranchised. On Women’s Equality Day we honor those everywhere who work with courage and determination to promote women’s rights in an ever-evolving world.
