#OnThisDay, 29 Dec 1975, the Sex Discrimination and Equal Pay Acts came into effect in the UK. These made it unlawful to discriminate based on sex or marital status, and made it a requirement to pay men and women equally for equal work.

The laws were passed in 1970 but did not come into effect until 1975, giving employers time to prepare. One of the triggers for the laws had been the 1968 Ford machinists strike.

Thomas Philologus Ravennas

There's a statue of a bearded man on the façade of the church of San Zulian, above the entrance.

Yet another saint, one presumes, before walking on towards the main sights at St Mark's.

Well, no! That's Tommaso Ravenna, astrologer, physician, patron of the arts and sciences, knighted in several countries, who in the 1500s got rich and famous selling remedies for syphilis.

#OnThisDay, 14 Dec 1918, some women across the UK vote legally in parliamentary elections for the first time. It's the culmination of decades of campaigning.

Only women over 30 who held some property rights were allowed to vote, whereas all men over 21 could vote.

It was another decade until women had equal voting rights as men.
