Gov. Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed August 26 as Women's Equality Day, commemorating the 103rd anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, granting women the right to vote.
“On Women’s Equality Day, we honor the generations of women who fought hard so their daughters and granddaughters could have more rights than they were afforded,” said Gov. Whitmer.
Michigan was one of the first three states to pass the 19th amendment.
Gov. Whitmer has appointed more than 1,280 women to boards, commissions and full-time positions.
“More and more women continue to be firsts in their field or position, and I am so proud to see them lead with authority and authenticity across industries,” said Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks.
