Women’s Equality Day: History and significance

Women’s Equality Day was first set in 1972. It is announced every year by the President of the United States. President Richard Nixon had given the principal official decree. From that point forward, each US president has given a decree assigning August 26 as Women’s Equality Day.

Previous US president Barack Obama’s decree read, “Nearly one century ago, with boundless courage and relentless commitment, dedicated women who had marched, advocated, and organized for the right to cast a vote finally saw their efforts rewarded on August 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment was certified and the right to vote was secured.

In the decades that followed, that precious right has bolstered generations of women and empowered them to stand up, speak out, and steer the country they love in a more equal direction.”
