Exhibit: From the Absence of Many to the Presence of All -- The Unfinished Business of Women's Equality

The National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has recently opened the exhibit From the Absence of Many to the Presence of All -- The Unfinished Business of Women's Equality. The exhibit, which is on display until January 7, 2011, not only documents past struggles for gender equality, but also asks the viewer to imagine how equality can be achieved by the year 2020, the 100th anniversary of women earning the right to vote.

The Unfinished Business of Women's Equality exhibit was developed as a part of Vision 2020, a national project focused on advancing gender equality by energizing the dialogue about women and leadership, and was commissioned by Drexel University College of Medicine's Institute for Women's Health and Leadership.
