This August 26, 2020, marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which removed discrimination in voting 'on account of sex' and ultimately granted many women the right to vote for the first time on a national stage.

Some experts are predicting a record-breaking number of female voters, projecting up to 70 percent of overall voter turnout will be women. One hundred years ago, many women could not cast a ballot due to discriminatory laws in their home states.

In Move Toward Equality, Women Now Free to Fling Themselves Down Deadly Ice ChuteThere are few things I care about less than sports and honestly, I can’t think of what a single one of those things might be right now which, I guess, makes sense. What makes less sense to me is why anyone in their right mind would be interested in participating in a sport to begin with, much less one that is literally called skeleton.
