On this day, August 26th, 1970, American women took to the streets for the Women’s Strike for Equality. This also marked the 50th anniversary of the passing of the 19th amendment, which effectively gave women the right to vote.

It was estimated that 50,000 people participated. Women were earning $0.59 for every dollar a man earned.
