About Women's Equality Day

Harry Burn took his seat in the Tennessee House in August 1920 wearing a red rose, the badge of the anti-suffrage side. He had also received a letter from his mother, Febb, telling him to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt, meaning the suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Catt. He voted yes, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify, and eight days later Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the certification quietly at home.

The day itself was the work of Bella Abzug, the New York congresswoman known for her wide-brimmed hats. Her first resolution, in 1971, went nowhere, and the second passed in 1973. In 1970, on the 50th anniversary, Betty Friedan's Women's Strike for Equality had marched down Fifth Avenue, though the city gave the marchers only one lane.
