Who were those courageous women who promoted women’s rights that resulted in the betterment of our country? From the Temperance and Abolition Movements to the Suffrage and Women’s Liberation Movements, women have been involved in creating a more perfect nation. From 1916, when the first woman was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, until 2016 when the first woman was a candidate for the U.S. President, women have sought elected office and legislated for equal rights, equal pay, civil rights, equal education, child care, peace, labor rights, equal opportunities, etc. Who among us can name the author of the Equal Pay Act of 1963?
