Women's Equality Day is observed every year in the United States of America.
This special day can be observed by anyone in recognition of the continual struggle for women's rights that is still persistent in society. Apart from the general public, the U.S. Congress and other governmental departments, including the president, also take part in observing this day.
This day first started in the year 1971. Two years later, the U.S. Congress gave this day a formal designation.
Before Congress assembled to formally announce this day as a part of American life through a joint resolution in 1973, the first Women's Equality Day was observed in 1971 by various women's rights organizations. August 26, 1971 commemorated the day that the 19th Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote. This was a historic moment in the Women's Suffrage movement. One of the leading figures in the establishment of Women's Equality Day was Congresswoman, Bella Abzug.
The fight for women's equality has spanned centuries. Continue reading to learn about some of the milestones accomplished in this fight.
Traditionally, this day is observed annually by the President's Proclamation, where the president makes a speech related to the historical importance of the Women's Suffrage movement, notable figures and their important contributions to women's equality movements, and the need to uphold equal rights and economic opportunity for women.
The best way to observe this day is by reading about the many women from all spheres of life who ensured that American women were given their due constitutional right to vote. Additionally, you can also spread awareness about women's struggles and the need for equal economic opportunity for women.
This date was selected as Women's Equality Day on August 26, 1920, since the 19th Amendment was adopted by the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote.
This day can be observed by learning the history of the Women's Suffrage movement, which was only the first step towards full equality for women.
August 26, 2022 is Women's Equality Day.
This day started in 1971.
Women's Equality Day is a great day to remember the passing of the 19th Amendment and the giant strides women have been making in all spheres of life despite their struggles.
One of the main influencers of this day was Congresswoman and activist, Bella Abzug.
This day can be used to remember the notable female figures whose fight for full and equal participation of women in every field has changed the course of history. It also gives us an opportunity to remember that there is still a long way ahead before equality is fully achieved.
Some women promote this day by sharing inspirational stories about women online.
