Women’s Equality Day was celebrated at the Women’s Park in Warren, Ohio. Council woman at large Helen Rucker was the keynote speaker who shared the history of Carrie Green Mountain. Musical guest Jan Ruggerio and her volunteer performers dressed as women suffragettes sang ‘ Let another Vote’ a song from the broadway musical ‘Suffs’. Refreshments were served at the Harriet Taylor Upton Home afterwards.

Women's Equality Day is celebrated in the United States on August 26 to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) 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 s*x. It was first celebrated in 1971, designated by Congress in 1973, and is proclaimed each year by the United States President.

The date was chosen to commemorate the day in 1920 when the Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the proclamation granting American women the constitutional right to vote.
