Women's Equality Day 2023: Today, on August 26, people are celebrating this special day. The aim of celebrating Women's Equality Day is to recognize the ongoing and arduous fight for gender equality. This day serves as a reminder of the strides achieved toward affording women equal rights, particularly the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 that gave women the right to vote. This is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of women in a variety of disciplines and to reaffirm our dedication to achieving equality for all genders in terms of opportunities and rights.
On this very special Women's Equality Day, we have curated the top inspirational quotes below for all the women out there.
