During the month of August The Norfolk County Registry of Deeds will feature notable women of Norfolk County on its various media platforms to promote and commemorate August 26th.
Women's Equality Day has been observed on August 26th every year since 1971. The event is held on the anniversary of the 19th Amendment's ratification, which gave women the right to vote. However, it would take another 42 years before voting restrictions and interference were banned nationwide.

The women selected to be featured come from research done by Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell and his staff for the Registry’s Notable Land Records project, which is currently in its third volume. Each of these booklets highlights the stories of numerous women of note from Norfolk County.
Some of the women featured are journalists, actresses, pioneers, astronauts and soldiers, truly demonstrating that all throughout Norfolk County women have played a significant part in shaping this county and the country into what it is today.
