Halfway between Equality Day in the United States (Aug. 26) and Equality Day in Canada (Apr. 17) is a perfect day to write about equality. The concept itself is a halfway state, inherently unstable, like a coin standing on its edge before morphing into heads or tails.
Designated by the U.S. Congress in 1971, Equality Day commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, the day in 1920 on which American women were given the vote. The bill celebrating it half a century later was shepherded through the legislature by Rep. Bella Abzug, an early leader of feminism’s second wave in America.
