Explanation:
1.Women won the right to vote in 1920, the right to serve alongside men in the military in 1948, and the right to equal pay in 1963—and the past 50 years have been just as influential when it comes to achievements made by women. Since 1969, women have launched into space, released some of the most popular music of all time, and made lasting impacts on political and judicial systems around the globe. In honor of history's most extraordinary ladies, we've rounded up some of the amazing achievements women have made every year for the past five decades.
2.Before 1969, women weren't allowed to attend Ivy League universities. Both Yale and Princeton were the first Ivy League institutions to accept women in the fall of 1969. Dartmouth didn't accept women until 1972, while the last all-male Ivy League, Columbia, didn't accept women until 1983.

Some 90 years later, the first women's marathon was held at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. The race included 50 competitors from 28 countries, but it was Joan Benoit who finished first, winning a gold medal for the U.S. in the historic event.

5.2017: Peggy Whiston breaks the record for the most days spent in space Women aren't just making history here on Earth—in 2017, Peggy Whiston recently broke the record for the most days spent in space by any NASA astronaut, male or female. Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1996 after earning her doctorate in biochemistry from Rice University, Whiston's first trip to the International Space Station was in 2002. But in 2016, Whitson arrived again at the International Space Station on Expedition 50/51, becoming the oldest woman (at age 56) to fly into space. By 2017, she had spent a total of 655 days in space.
