The 19th Amendment: Women's Suffrage

The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted women the right to vote in the United States. This amendment marked a significant victory for the women's suffrage movement, which fought for decades to achieve equality in voting rights.

The 19th Amendment states, 'The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex,' ensuring that women could participate fully in the democratic process.
