Susan B. Anthony Day is a commemorative holiday to celebrate the birth of Susan B. Anthony and the Women's suffrage in the United States. The day is on February 15. It has been historically celebrated since 1920 when the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed giving women the right to vote. [1]. While in the United States, this day sometimes coincides with President's Day, which is a federal holiday, there have been calls to have this day renamed. [2] In the state of Wisconsin, Susan B. Anthony Day is an established state holiday, which was enacted into law April 15, 1976, from the 1975 Laws of Wisconsin, Chapter 307, section 20 [3].
