Consider this your reminder: Your voice = your power. Women\u2019s Equality Day is a moment to honor the women who fought for our rights, check in on how far we\u2019ve come, and remind ourselves there\u2019s still work to do. At Lulus, we see it as more than history\u2014it\u2019s about real progress, everyday empowerment, and hyping each other up.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is Women\u2019s Equality Day?<\/h2>\n

Quick history lesson: Women\u2019s Equality Day marks the <\/span>ratification of the 19th Amendment<\/span><\/a>, granting women the legal right to vote in 1920. That win was decades in the making, thanks to legendary suffragists who refused to be silenced. (Shoutout to<\/span> Congresswoman Bella Abzug, who helped make Women\u2019s Equality Day official in 1971–since then, presidents have marked the day every single year.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The fight wasn\u2019t over in 1920, though. Native American women couldn\u2019t vote until 1924, <\/span>Black women<\/span><\/a> weren\u2019t fully enfranchised until 1965, and language barriers prevented many immigrants from voting until 1975.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to own your power (at the ballot box and beyond)<\/h2>\n

Big or small, every choice you make can fuel change. Here are a few ways to tap into your power and uplift the women around you\u2014because progress happens one step (and one voice) at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n
