National Women’s Equality Day, observed annually in the United States on August 26, marks the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. While this was a pivotal victory in the United States, it was not an end to the struggle for women’s rights. It wasn’t until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that more comprehensive protections were established for historically excluded groups in the United States. Officially recognized by Congress in 1973, National Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates these achievements but also underscores the importance of continued advocacy to achieve true gender equality.
