AND SO once more, we gather to celebrate Aug. 26, the anniversary of women’s suffrage. It’s been 91 years since our foremothers won the right to vote. What would those courageous women say about a year in which the political spotlight on women shifted from Sarah Palin promoting Mama Grizzlies to Michele Bachmann serving tea. Or at least the Tea Party.
The one glimmer of progress in food fight halls of Congress is that women got four more seats. But those seats were in the brand-new congressional ladies’ room. Nine decades and all we get is potty parity? You go, girl!
Despite all this, our one-woman panel of judges prepares in good spirit to hand out the Equal Rites Awards to all those who did their best to do the worst for women in the past year. Without further ado, the envelopes please.
