Women's Equality Day commemorates the August 26, 1920, certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that gave women the right to vote. Congresswoman Bella Abzug first introduced a proclamation for Women's Equality Day in 1971. Since that time, every president has published a proclamation recognizing August 26 as Women's Equality Day.

As a part of Miami Country Day School's continued work toward achieving equity and belonging in our community, we encourage that this day is used for reflection and personal growth in the area of diversity, equity, and belonging- in whatever manner makes sense to you.
