Women’s Equality Day is Friday August 26th.

Women’s Equality Day commemorates the certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that gave women the right to vote. Voting is an important aspect of equality but women’s equality goes way beyond that.

I’d like to see more representation of women in the fields and industries where pay, power and opportunity are the greatest. Over time, this will lead to more women in leadership roles and more women working in industries like technology, science and finance, just to name a few.

What do you think is still important to achieve in terms of women’s equality -- particularly in the workplace context? What changes and progress would you like to see most?
