Women's History Month: Word of the Day

OK, so there really is not a connection between Women's History Month and a word of the day. But I came across the following while I was cleaning out some old writings.

Word of the day: virago. One definition is "noisy, scolding or domineering woman"; another is "large, strong, courageous woman". Guess which one's my fave?

It is Women's History Month...please go out and celebrate. Go, viragos!

Women's Equality Day

Today is Women's Equality Day. It is also the 87th anniversary of women's right to vote in the United States. It is hard for me to believe that their are people in our country who have been alive longer than women have been able to vote.

Equality? Hhmmmm...

According to the US Census, women's median income is 77% of men's.
10 of the Fortune 500 companies are run by women (up from 7 last year).
Women hold 16% of the seats in US Congress.

Are you feeling equal today?
