It’s time for women to get #equalpayforequalwork. No woman should have to work an extra 18 to 30 years to make what a man makes. #EqualPayDaypic.twitter.com/ndgaOrqMMK

.@RubyBridges was the first black child to integrate an all-white school in the South. As a six-year-old, she showed remarkable bravery and continues to champion for racial equality today. #WomensHistoryMonthpic.twitter.com/ENf02XP8BY

With Krewes such as @KreweOfMuses and @KreweofNyx in existence, it is hard to believe that women were once excluded from a number of Mardi Gras festivities. The Krewe of Venus led the way for all-female krewes when they debuted in 1941. #WomensHistoryMonthpic.twitter.com/D6rG71EEwO
