Join the Center for Colorado Women’s History as we celebrate Women’s Equality Day! Come for a free tour of the museum, enjoy pie and live music in our garden, and connect with our community partner, League of Women’s Voters!
Women’s Equality Day is celebrated in the United States on August 26 to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.
About our partners:
THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS of the United States (LWVUS) was founded on February 14, 1920 in Chicago, Illinois. Born of the women’s suffrage movement, the League was organized when it became apparent that the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing voting rights to women citizens, would finally be ratified. The League is nonpartisan; it neither supports nor opposes candidates for office at any level of government. At the same time, the League works to influence policy through advocacy.
