Today we celebrate Women’s Equality Day! August 26 was selected by Congress to commemorate the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which grants women the right to vote. This image shows the Just Government League of Maryland marching for the right to vote in Columbus, Ohio. The signs read: "Votes for women / Just Government League" and "Just Government League / Liberty or death / Don't tread on me."
