New Women 100 Calendar Extends Celebration

Vision 2020 has finalized the new schedule for Women 100 , and we are pleased to report that all previously planned events will be held, although some in a different format. Our yearlong celebration of the 19th Amendment centennial now extends into March 2021 – Women's History Month! Women 100 kicks off with Toast to Tenacity™ on August 26, recognized nationwide as Women’s Equality Day: the day in 1920 when the 19th Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution, establishing women's voting rights.

Toast to Tenacity will be webcast from Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia and will feature livestreaming and pre-recorded presentations, tributes, and musical performances. The webcast can be viewed around the country and the world on the Women 100 website. The 90-minute program, from 12 pm to 1:30 pm ET, includes a visit with the Philadelphia Eagles, ringing of the Justice Bell, and as always, a nationwide toast at 1 pm to the tenacious suffragists whose efforts led to voting rights for American women. Vision 2020 Partners, Allies and supporters across the country will raise a glass of grape juice, as the suffragists did due to Prohibition, or another beverage of their choice. If you plan to host a toast in your area, please complete this Google form and indicate if you would like to participate via livestream. We can’t wait to bring this year’s Toast to Tenacity to a global audience!

Women 100 Events

SHE Leads Road Rally Takes a Turn This road trip of women "driving the vote" from America’s Birthplace to the Birthplace of Women’s Rights has been reimagined!

The road rally will still be a motorcade of women driving race cars and vintage automobiles from Philadelphia to Seneca Falls, New York, the site of the first Women’s Rights Convention. But due to COVID-19, we are no longer selling tickets to ride along in a bus. Instead, a film crew will record this unique celebration of women’s voting rights and other notable achievements over the past 100 years and produce a video of the experience that can be viewed online. The road rally will take place October 16-17. If you're interested in getting involved, reach out to Elowyn Corby, Vision 2020 program manager, at emc395@drexel.edu . Pictured above are Tammy Williams, a Vision 2020 Delegate and president and CEO of Envision2bWell Inc., and Maureen McVail, volunteer chair of the SHE Leads Road Rally.

Women's Equality Research

Not Enough Progress Toward Equality, Majority Says  A majority of Americans say the United States has not made enough progress in ensuring women have equal rights with men, according to new research released this month by the Pew Research Center. Among women, 64 percent agreed with that assessment and 49 percent of men agreed. The report shows wide political and gender gaps in views about the obstacles to greater equality.

Voters Know Crisis Traits They Want in Women Leaders New research by the Barbara Lee Family Foundation shows that voters have strong views about what it takes for a woman leader to be successful in a crisis : communication, confidence, team-building and a 360-degree view – thinking about what needs to happen before, during and after an emergency.

Women Continue to Earn Less Than Men for Same Work A report by the Women’s Law Project in Pennsylvania, released in May, shows American women continue to fall short in earnings compared to men who hold the same jobs. Women overall are paid only 80 cents for every dollar that a man takes home, and the wage gap worsens for most women of color when race is factored in.
