Women’s Equality Day, celebrated every August 26, commemorates the passage of women’s suffrage in the U.S. and reminds us of the hurdles overcome by the heroic women who faced violence and discrimination to propel the women’s movement forward.
Did you know there are more than 12,000 women Veterans in West Virginia alone? We observe their contributions on this day and every day.
