On Friday, Ms. lost its senior editor, Michele Kort, after a more than three-years-long battle with ovarian cancer. Michele was the heart and soul of Ms.; she dedicated herself for decades to the feminist goals of justice, dignity, respect, diversity and women's empowerment—and fought with dogged determination. She was also a music and sports aficionado; a passionate lover of animals and defender of animal rights; a culture vulture; a lifelong Angeleno; and an art historian. She was beloved by many and her absence from Ms. will be felt for many years to come.

The tribute magazine pictured below was produced for Michele shortly before she died. It contains some of the many feature articles and blog posts she wrote during her 13 years as a Ms. editor. If you'd like to see it, a copy is housed in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. (Photo by Mark Hanauer)

An 8-year-old Mighty Girl has won a victory for gender equality in children's books after a major publisher agreed to stop labeling books "for boys" and "for girls" following her petition drive. Els of London, England was annoyed to discover that an enticing pirate book in the Scholastic book fair catalog was titled "for Boys". After her mother Leone told her to “stop griping and do something," Els set up a petition calling on the publisher to stop dividing books by gender and began collecting signatures at her school.

Scholastic UK was very responsive and removed the “boys” and “girls” sections on its online Book Wizard and pledged to no longer publish books that declare they are for a specific gender in the title. Els was thrilled by the response and explained to The Independent why she believes that this is an important change:

"Girls may not like things that are labelled ‘for girls’, they might want a monster book labelled ‘for boys’. Books should be for everyone and we all like different things. If you tell a girl she could not have one of the books she likes, when she grows up she might feel lonely because she thinks that all the other girls like pretty, pink princesses and she doesn’t... I don’t want my friends to grow up being sad and lonely because they think they are different. They should be happy because we are all different and different is the best.”

Kudos to Els for taking a stand against gender stereotyping! To read more in The Independent, visit http://ind.pn/1DMovRE -- you can also learn about more UK campaigns focused on ending gender stereotyping at Let Toys Be Toys - For Girls and Boys.

An important step toward achieving greater gender equality is to end gender stereotyping of children -- for three excellent books that explore this topic and offer advice to parents and educators, check out “The Truth About Girls and Boys: Challenging Toxic Stereotypes About our Children" (http://www.amightygirl.com/the-truth-about-girls-and-boys), "Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neuros*xism Create Difference" (http://www.amightygirl.com/delusions-of-gender), and "Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps -- And What We Can Do About It" (http://www.amightygirl.com/pink-brain-blue-brain).

Today we honor all of those who fought for women's right to vote as we celebrate Election Day in the US. The fight for women's suffrage in the United States lasted 72 years from the first women's right conference in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848 to the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote in 1920. The text of the amendment is simple, straightforward, and to modern Americans, absolutely obvious, but at the turn of the twentieth century, it was an unpopular point of view among many.

The pamphlet pictured here was created by an organization founded in 1911 to actively oppose state and national suffrage efforts, the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. In it, they listed several reasons for opposing women's suffrage including: "Because it is unwise to risk the good we already have for the evil which may occur" and "Because in some States more voting women than voting men will place the Government under petticoat rule." The group disbanded in 1920 after the passage of the 19th Amendment.

This year marks the 94th anniversary of women's right to vote and, for Election Day, we're celebrating a few of the original Mighty Girls -- the suffragists! The suffragists were activists who worked tirelessly to secure that right for themselves, their daughters, and future generations of American women. Women are still grateful for the work of their suffragist sisters; since the 1980s, women have been turning out to vote in significantly higher numbers than men.

To introduce children and teens to the amazing women of the US suffrage movement, check out our post on “How Women Won the Vote: Teaching Kids About the U.S. Suffrage Movement” for numerous reading recommendations: http://www.amightygirl.com/blog/?p=2346

A Mighty Girl features special collections showcasing books and other resources on two prominent early American suffragists: Susan B. Anthony (http://bit.ly/1mlifMW) and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (http://bit.ly/1oGAhIj).

For an excellent depiction of the tireless work of two suffragists who helped bring the 19th Amendment to fruition, Lucy Burns and Alice Paul, we highly recommend the film Iron Jawed Angels for ages 13 and up: http://www.amightygirl.com/iron-jawed-angels

The excellent "One Woman, One Vote" documentary also tells Paul's story, along with that of the Suffrage Movement's other key leaders such as Anthony and Stanton -- for viewers 10 and up (http://www.amightygirl.com/one-woman-one-vote)
