Pixabay.comAlmost 100 years ago in 1920, women won the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Today, on Women’s Equality Day, we commemorate that progress and are forced to reconcile how far we still have to go. It’s easy to gloss over just how hard-fought a victory the 19th Amendment was. But the history behind this momentous political battle shows just how fraught this victory was, and holds key lessons for today’s leaders that are as relevant as ever. We must stay focused, stay vigilant, and stay committed to these battles for the long haul in order to enact lasting change.
