		<description><![CDATA[Today, August 26, is Women&#8217;s Equality Day, marking the anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. How will you mark the occassion? Celebrating doesn&#8217;t seem entirely right, as we still have so far to go to achieve true equality. But we must honor the work of the women who fought for our right to cast our ballots and use our voices &#8211; and certainly we celebrate their achievements. Last year on this date we wrote, &#8220;Mark the day by taking action. If we exercise our power as women, we both honor the women who came before us and help advance those who will come after us.&#8221; We still believe that. So here is our list of ways to honor the day. What else would you add? Ways to Honor Women's Equality Day]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ladies, I get the complacency. I do. I am mostly uninspired by my choices on the ballot. But I will vote. And I hope you do too. Vote because your grandmothers and great grandmothers could not. Women have only been allowed to vote in this country for 90 years. So I will exercise my right in honor of Nana. Vote for hope. Brazil just elected its first woman president and someday we will too? and someday we will too. Vote because you&#8217;re not giving up. Vote because you&#8217;re tired of others defining the &#8220;woman&#8217;s vote.&#8221; You can tell them how you feel, thank you. Vote because we are not going to allow sexist campaign tactics to sway our votes. Vote because women are losing ground in Washington and we are not okay with that. We are going for critical mass. Just vote. And next time around, why not run?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is Women&#8217;s Equality Day marking the ninetieth anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. It’s not an easy day to honor. Do we celebrate the tremendous work of the suffragettes who fought long and hard for women? Or do we note the irony of an equality day when women still earn, on average, only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns; bang their heads against a glass ceiling; still do the majority of housework and haven&#8217;t reached critical mass in Washington? I say we mark the day by taking action. If we exercise our power as women, we both honor the women who came before us and help advance those who will come after us. Here are six suggestions for celebrating Women&#8217;s Equality Day. 1. Vote. The suffragettes fought a long, hard battle in order for women to have the right to vote.  If you aren&#8217;t already registered, register to vote today, read up on the issues and cast a ballot in the midterm elections. Women are 51 percent of the population and we do make a difference on election day. 2. Run. Better yet, why not run for office? Ladies, it&#8217;s great [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why couldn&#8217;t it have been the Ninety Nine? Every summer while on vacation, my husband and I go out to dinner with another couple. Every year I offer a long list of suggestions &#8211; waterfront restaurants where the food is marginal and overpriced but the setting is beautiful. And every year, we eat at the Ninety Nine, a chain restaurant with the ambience of a carboard box. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great value,&#8221; the men tell me. So when I heard that a major steakhouse chain paid out $19 million to settle a sex discrimination class lawsuit, I hoped it was the Ninety Nine. Perhaps I could change our annual outing on moral grounds. But alas, it was Outback Steakhouse, a place I never frequent anywhere. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Outback denied women equal opportunities for advancement. Women could not get promoted to the higher-level profit-sharing management positions in the restaurants. Also, the EEOC claimed women were denied access to the jobs that would put them in line for management positions. This is not the first sex discrimination suit for Outback. In 2001, a jury awarded $2.2 million to a female employee who was paid less than a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was complaining to my father after learning a male coworker made more money than me despite the fact I was on the management team and my coworker was not. My father responded, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t think women had to deal with that anymore. I thought women were treated as equals these days.&#8221;  I&#8217;ll spare you the 30 minute rant I shared with my father in response. The idea that women and men are equals in the workplace is a common misconception. After all, there are more women going to work every day than there are men. And women are breadwinners: a working wife, on average, contributes 42.2 percent of her household’s income. (Source: The Center for American Progress).  Women receive the majority of college degrees. But for some reason, this doesn’t add up to women rising to the tops of their organizations in any significant numbers. We know that the wage gap is widening, not closing. And, in Massachusetts alone, women are losing ground at the top. Now, a new report from the White House Project points out just how far women still need to go in several different industries. According to &#8220;Benchmarking Women&#8217;s Leadership&#8221; women represent a mere 18 [...]]]></description>
