Women’s Equality Day is celebrated every August 26 in the United States. It commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. The day honors the heroic women who faced violence and discrimination to advance the women’s movement. In the early 19th century, American women could not inherit property and earned half of men’s wages. Women began organizing to demand political rights and representation. The day highlights continuing efforts for full equality in education, employment, and political participation.
