On the 103rd anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting women the right to vote, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed today as Women's Equality Day in Michigan. The purpose, Whitmer said, is "to honor the generations of women who fought hard so their daughters and granddaughters could have more rights than they were afforded."
