House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Help Women's eNews Mark Women's Equality Day

Pelosi wrote:

We stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. Let us remember the fierce determination of the women who won for us the right to vote, the right to engage in the political process. Let us honor their sacrifice, engage in the political process, and embrace your right to vote!

And Jensen added:

Tomorrow, we will return to work with a greater awareness of what it takes to push ahead, knowing that we are making more money than ever, but are still not on a par with our male counterparts; exercising more political power than ever, but still not having enough clout; enjoying more freedoms of movement and travel, but still never feeling truly safe.
