When you hear about women's right to vote you would think that equal voting rights have been around for 200 years at least. In a civilised world it would be obvious. August 26th is Women's Equality Day in the USA, so we dived into this topic...

This week Women’s Equality Day was celebrated in the USA.

It is celebrated on August 26^th to commemorate the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states from denying the right to vote to citizens on the basis of sex.

Do you know how long American women have had the right to vote?
And do you know that though Women’s Equality Day commemorates this milestone, it was far from what we could call equality?
