Women’s Equality Day is celebrated in the United States annually on August 26. The day commemorates the decision to give women official voting right in the USA in 1920 after a long struggle. An amendment known as the Nineteenth Amendment was made to the US constitution in 1920 to give equal voting rights to women. By the mid-920, 35 of the 50 states in the USA had voted in favour of the legislation for voting rights for women. However, the ratification needed 3/4thor 36 favour votes to be passed by the federal government.
