Facebook helped its American users celebrate Women's Equality Day on Wednesday with a special post at the top of their newsfeeds.
The post noted how women achieved the right to vote in the United States on Aug. 26, 1920.
This is what I saw at the top of my news feed on Wednesday:
If you're located in the U.S., or have your hometown listed as a city in the U.S., you probably saw this banner when you logged in on Wednesday. A Facebook spokesman told The Huffington Post the greeting would be shown to all mobile Facebook users in the United States -- no matter their gender -- before the end of the day.
President Barack Obama released a proclamation (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/08/24/presidential-proclamation-womens-equality-day-2015) Wednesday in honor of Women's Equality Day, but noted "there is still more to do" to help women achieve equality (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/7-facts-that-show-women-still-arent-equal_55db334be4b08cd3359c8e5a), including work toward making it a law for women to get equal pay.
Below, some lawmakers who are fighting for women's equality:
