What I'm thankful for: August 26

Today I'm thankful for...

Women's equality!

Today is Women's Equality Day, so I thought it was appropriate to celebrate our equality. Even though we still have a ways to go with some things, like equal pay between men and women, we have made a lot of strides. Think about how even just 100ish years ago (I'm not a history major ha ha), women couldn't even vote, wear pants, etc. I can't imagine not having some of the rights that I take for granted! There are also other places in the world where women are considered lesser citizens and can't even go places without a male escort. I wouldn't like having those restrictions at all, and I'm extremely grateful that I live in a country that is working towards equality for women!
