Suffrage: the right of voting, also  the exercise of such right      
Women's Suffrage: 
the right of women to vote in elections

One hundred years ago the 19th Amendment was ratified and adopted by the United States of America.  On August 18, 1920, the last state (of the 36 needed) ratified the 19th Amendment; it was officially adopted on August 26, 1920.  ​
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.​"
 In 1973 August 26 was designated as Women's Equality Day. *

* About Women's Equality Day

At the behest of Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY), in 1971 and passed in 1973,  the U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day.” The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. This was the culmination of a massive, peaceful civil rights movement by women that had its formal beginnings in 1848 at the world’s first women’s rights convention, in Seneca Falls, New York. The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality.  
~ National Women's History Alliance
Joint Resolution of Congress, 1971 - Designating August 26 of each year as Women’s Equality Day
​ WHEREAS, the women of the United States have been treated as second-class citizens and have not been entitled the full rights and privileges, public or private, legal or institutional, which are available to male citizens of the United States;
and

WHEREAS, the women of the United States have united to assure that these rights and privileges are available to all citizens equally regardless of sex;
and

WHEREAS, the women of the United States have designated August 26, the anniversary date of the certification of the Nineteenth Amendment, as symbol of the continued fight for equal rights;
and

WHEREAS, the women of United States are to be commended and supported in their organizations and activities,

​NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that August 26th of each year is designated as Women’s Equality Day, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation annually in commemoration of that day in 1920, on which the women of America were first given the right to vote, and that day in 1970, on which a nationwide demonstration for women’s rights took place. ​
