Women's Equality Day on August 26 is a celebration of a landmark in women's rights. On this day in 1920, women in the US gained the right to vote through a constitutional amendment. The 19th amendment was a historic win for those fighting for equal rights for women as denying citizens of the US the right to vote on the basis of gender was no longer legal.
