The United States lags behind the rest of the industrialized world; while women comprise only 16 percent of the U.S. Congress, in numerous countries—including Chile, New Zealand, Ireland, Liberia, Germany, and Canada—women currently serve as presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors. Women’s history still is marginalized in world history textbooks, which include about one woman for every 10 men.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifestyle.msn.com/mindbodyandsoul/womenintheworld/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3330307">It’s hard to believe that the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution still hasn’t been ratified. Introduced into Congress in 1923, the amendment states that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifestyle.msn.com/mindbodyandsoul/womenintheworld/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3330307">The National Women’s History Project led the drive to establish March as Women’s History Month.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifestyle.msn.com/mindbodyandsoul/womenintheworld/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3330307">“For women to exercise their rights and to be full citizens, they have to know where they came from and they have to know the struggle,”</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4ADC1530-2B25-48F0-ADBB-4F1DAB8B20D9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
