How much do you know about Komodo Dragons?

International Women's Day in France
On April 21, 1944, General Charles de Gaulle, then leader of the provisional government in Algiers, issued a simple decree, “Women are eligible to vote under the same conditions as men.” Historic as it was, female suffrage arrived comparatively late in France.
A century and a half earlier, the French Revolution made France a modern republic under the motto of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité.” Then, in the wake of the 1848 political uprising, France became one of the first nations to grant universal suffrage to men. However, it took almost a century to extend that right to women.
