自1995年以来,美国总统发表了声明,指定三月为妇女历史月,以此来庆祝妇女的贡献并促进性别平等。


这个月我们将表彰在20世纪的艺术,科学,体育,娱乐,商业和政治领域作出重要贡献的美国女性。


苏珊·B·安东尼是美国社会改革家和女权主义者,她在妇女选举权运动中发挥了举足轻重的作用。


当安东尼开始为争取妇女权利开展运动时,她受到了无情的嘲笑,但到她的80岁生日时,她在白宫受到表彰。


当她的肖像出现在1979年的美元硬币上时,她成了美国硬币上刻画的第一个非虚构的女性。

 




#Women’sHistoryMonth#-Celebrating American Women 


Since 1995, U.S. Presidents have issued declarations designating March as Women’s History Month, as a way to celebrate the contribution of women and to promote gender equality. 


This month we will celebrate American women who made important contributions to arts, science, sports, entertainment, business and politics in the 20th century.  


Susan B. Anthony was an American social reformer and feminist who played a pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement.  


When she began campaigning for women’s rights, Anthony was harshly ridiculed, but by her 80th birthday, she was celebrated in the White House.  


She became the first nonficitious woman to be depicted on U.S. coinage when her portrait appeared on the 1979 dollar coin.
