Happy Women's Equality Day!

Today, August 26th, is celebrated as Women's Equality Day in the United States. This day commemorates the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. The day was officially recognized in 1971 as a way to honor the struggles and achievements of women in the fight for gender equality, and to continue advocating for women's rights and opportunities in all aspects of society.

We celebrate women here at October Books and this day is significant as we honor the historical and social impacts that have shaped the continuing and different journeys toward gender equality all over the world.
