Obama Signs Proclamation Honoring Anniversary Of Women’s Suffrage

President Barack Obama signed a proclamation Thursday honoring the 90th anniversary of women having the right to vote.

Obama emphasized the considerable headway women have made in the past ninety years, including within the nation’s highest court.

For nearly two centuries, America could only imagine a female justice sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States. Today, for the first time in our Nation’s history, three women sit on the bench,” the proclamation reads.

The President noted that inequalities still remain, but pledged to continue the advance of women’s rights.
