Co-chairperson Judith Anderson addressed the Westchester County Board of Legislators on Monday evening, July 12, about the celebration of the 90th<\/sup> anniversary (August 26) of women\u2019s voting rights. Her comments follow:   <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood evening Chairman Jenkins and members of the Board. As co-chair with Susan Konig and Regina Riely, I am pleased to speak before you once again about the 9th<\/sup> Annual Westchester Women\u2019s Equality Day Reformed that will have its annual celebration this year on Friday, August 13, here at the County Board Michaelian Building. We will commemorate 90 years of women being recognized with full citizenship through the granting of voting rights. Ninety years \u2013 quite a milestone! We, as always, extend an invitation to all members of the Board, but especially<\/span> <\/span>its women: Legislators Myers, Williams, Spreckman and Marcotte. We especially thank the Hon. Gordon A. Burrows who has been our sponsor for many years and the Hon. John G. Testa, also a sponsor this year. We thank them for attending and look forward to working with them this year on Board business, as well as with Sheila Marcotte. We hope she will join us each year, and for many years to come.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our 2010 honoree is Dr. Catherine Hickey, Yonkers multi-award winning, life-long educator and recently retired Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of New York. Our theme this year is \u2018Calling Youth to Excellence in Education and Life\u2019.<\/strong><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s voices have been heard in the public square these last 90 years, and so what we have become as a society<\/span> rests equally with women as with men – as it should be. The four women who sit on the County Board of Legislators are testaments to the unique voice and perspectives that women<\/span> <\/span>bring to the great debates of our time. When we speak of our young people in particular, we seek for them parents, heroes and heroines, teachers and mentors that inspire and call them to the highest standards in the classroom, and in the living of life itself. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The day\u2019s program will challenge women on this occasion of reflection on the powerful words and actions of our most outspoken feminist foremothers \u2013 Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony \u2013 who did not see the advancement of women or activism as opposed to motherhood; quite the opposite. Elizabeth Stanton was known to raise a flag outside of her home with the birth of each of her five children \u2013 shocking her neighbors in Seneca Falls surely as when she fought with Mott and Anthony for women\u2019s voting rights! Join us on August 13. It will be another grand celebration!\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
