Women's Equality Day

Today celebrates Women’s Equality Day! This day is celebrated each year on August 26th. Women didn't have the right to vote before the 19^th Amendment in 1920 which made sure that everyone had the right to vote. Today celebrates the achievements of women and reminds us how far they've come. Women are always working hard - from being a mother, your favorite school teacher, to your best friend. They can be there as a shoulder to cry on, or can offer you some valuable advice.
