2020 Year of the Woman
The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic centennial offers an unparalleled opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. Year of the Woman 2020, a collaboration of women-centered institutions, organizations, and scholars from around the area, will work to ensure that this anniversary, and the 72-year fight to achieve it, are commemorated and celebrated throughout the community.
Throughout 2020 we will spotlight woman of Mount Airy’s history, as well as woman who are impacting Mount Airy’s future, host a Dress for Success Fashion Show to raise funds for organizations who offer professional attire and development tools that help woman thrive in the workplace and life, and towards the end of the year we will ask all of Mount Airy’s woman to line Main Street, in historic downtown Mount Airy, for a historic aerial photo.
Let’s celebrate together and make 2020 “Year of the Woman”
In celebration of the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the Year of the Woman 2020 Planning Committee will host a Dress for Success Fashion Show on Sunday, October 4, 2020, at The Links at Challedon.
Proceeds will help empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and development tools to help them thrive in the workforce and life.
