When the 19th amendment was ratified on Aug. 26, 1920, millions of women across the country won the right to vote. On Women’s Equality Day, we honor the hard-fought quest for universal suffrage and celebrate the monumental progress women have made over last century.
In the lead up to Women’s Equality Day on Aug. 26, we are highlighting some of the exceptional women at Commander, Navy Region Hawaii (CNRH) who did not let their gender stand in the way of achieving their goals.
This week we interview Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Lizeth Istre, 25, a behavioral health technician for the Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
