Women’s Equality Day is a day proclaimed each year by the United States President to commemorate the granting of the vote to women throughout the country on an equal basis with men. Women in the United States were granted the right to vote on August 26 1920 when the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was certified as law. The amendment was first introduced many years earlier in 1878.
