Women in the U.S. were granted the right to vote on August 26, 1920.  That’s when the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was signed into law.

The woman suffrage amendment was actually first introduced to the U.S. Congress in 1978, but took 42 years before it received approval from both the House of Representatives and Senate.

In 1971, Congresswoman Bella Abzug introduced a resolution designating August 26 of each year as Women’s Equality Day.

 Every president has made a proclamation for Women’s Equality Day since 1972.
