Join us for Women's Equality Day 2026!

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at 12:00pm in the Boston Public Garden near the Swan Boats! 

Join us as we recognize the day the 19th Amendment was added to the US Constitution, Aug. 26, 1920, and acknowledge the other laws that needed to be changed so that Black, Native American, and Asian American women - and men - could vote.

The Swan Boats in the Boston Public Garden have been the setting for MAWHC's Women's Equality Day event since 2011. The beautiful giant swans wear replica “Votes for Women” sashes, as do many of the speakers and attendees. This event brings together MAWHC Partner organizations and community members to celebrate the inclusive history of the fight for women's voting rights, as well as address today's most pressing social justice movements.
