1920年8月26日,美国宪法第十九修正案获得批准,保障了女性选举的基本权利。这份历经数十年的组织、抗议和大声疾呼才取得的成果是争取众生平等的漫长征途上的一个转折点,它激励了一代代勇敢的女性,她们在自己所在的时代继承着这项未竟的奋斗。


在这个民权里程碑的纪念日到来之际,我们向美国女性的坚毅,以及所有那些努力让我们的女儿和儿子都有可能享受同样权利和机会的人致敬。


Women’s Equality Day (August 26)


On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified, securing for women the fundamental right to vote.  The product of decades spent organizing, protesting, and agitating, it was a turning point on the long march toward equality for all, and it inspired generations of courageous women who took up this unfinished struggle in their own time.  On the anniversary of this civil rights milestone, we honor the character and perseverance of America's women and all those who work to make the same rights and opportunities possible for our daughters and sons.
