                       THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF WOMEN

  (Ms. FUDGE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FUDGE. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, March 3, 2013, the women of Delta 
Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and other women's organizations led 
the reenactment of the historic Women's Suffrage march down 
Pennsylvania Avenue. In March 1913, Delta Sigma Theta's 22 founders 
engaged in their first public act by joining other women in a ``spirit 
of protest against the political organization of society from which 
women were excluded.''
  While we have achieved a great deal in the last 100 years, it is 
quite evident that our journey is not complete. Women still deserve 
equal pay for equal work. Women deserve to control their own 
reproductive rights.
  We still have to fight for the rights of all Americans to participate 
in the electoral process. The struggle continues.
