"Women and children" obscures the really vulnerable people in our society(children, elderly, disabled, the sick, etc) & conveys that women are the "weaker sex." While many ppl in those groups are female, it is not their sex that defines their vulnerability.https://t.co/ekgRXRR78l

41 years ago today, Brenda Berkman became NYC's first woman firefighter.

She had to sue the city for the job, and overcome many obstacles throughout her career.

She retired as a decorated Captain in 2006.

Thank you, Brenda, for blazing a trail for other women to follow.

@ATVI_AB "will pay nearly $55 million to resolve its legal fight with the state of California...The state’s lawsuit had alleged [it] had a ‘frat boy culture' and subjected women to unequal pay, constant sexual harassment, and retaliation."

Minnie Cox

[Zarnab. @achaw_sahiiii]

Minnie Cox, an African American woman, was appointed as postmaster of Indianola, Mississippi, in 1891 during a time of racial tensions. In 1903, due to racial pressure and discrimination, she was forced to resign from her position. In response, President Theodore Roosevelt closed the Indianola post office and redirected its services to a nearby town.

President Roosevelt's decision aimed to send a strong message against racial injustice and to protect the dignity and rights of Minnie Cox. He ensured that she continued to receive her salary during the closure. This incident underscores Roosevelt's commitment to equality and his willingness to take concrete actions to address racial issues during his presidency. Today, the Minnie Cox Post Office in Indianola serves as a reminder of her pioneering role and the historical struggle against racial discrimination.

"The failure to hire women as head coaches of men’s programs, all while consistently hiring men to lead women’s teams, further solidifies the underrepresentation of women in sports leadership."

2023 has seen so much progress, but we still have work to do. https://t.co/GxfqZKXStV

"Let me tell you one reason why I think it’s important, and that is for the public generally to see and respect the fact that in positions of power and authority, that women are well-represented..."
