About this Event
Please Join Us!
The Friends of Susan B. Anthony invite you to our Annual Women's Equality Day Luncheon.
On Saturday, August 23, 2025, we will celebrate the 177th anniversary of the women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848 and the 105th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (woman suffrage) 1920. We invite the community to this event, which began as an informal birthday party for Susan B. Anthony over forty years ago, and is now held in conjunction with the anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
The luncheon will feature an award presentation and a speaker.
