About Women's Equality Day: In 1973, the U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day.” The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality.
This event is free as a members' benefit. If you are not a member, you can easily join and receive invites to all our special events and celebrations. If you need to renew your membership, simply RSVP and indicate that you need to renew.
