  1. Woman right passed by the congress on June,4 1919 the 19th amendment gave woman right to vote few people lived to see the victory in 1920

  2. By the end of the nineteenth century, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming had enfranchised women but this did not allow women to vote in federal elections. It was not until 1920, with the ratification of the 19th amendment, that women could vote in national elections

    The balance finally began to shift in favor of women's suffrage in 1918 when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson changed his position to support the amendment.

  4. The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote
    In the 1800s, women in the United States had few legal rights and did not have the right to vote. This speech was given by Susan B. Anthony after her arrest for casting an illegal vote in the presidential election of 1872. She was tried and then fined $100 but refused to pay.

  5. On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised their right to vote for the first time. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy.

  6. It passed in August 18, 1920 by the congress, and a few people lived just to see the victory of women's right to vote.

  7. The Congress shall have the power by appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of this article.

    On June 4, 1919, the United States Senate also endorsed the Amendment, voting 56 to 25, and sending the amendment to the states.

    Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan were the first states to pass the law; Georgia and Alabama rushed to pass rejections. The anti-suffrage forces, which included both men and women, were well-organized, and passage of the amendment was not easy.

    When thirty-five of the necessary thirty-six states had ratified the amendment, the battle came to Nashville, Tennessee. Anti-suffrage and pro-suffrage forces from around the nation descended on the town. And on August 18, 1920, the final vote was scheduled.

    One young legislator, 24 year old Harry Burn, had voted with the anti-suffrage forces to that time. But his mother had urged that he vote for the amendment and for suffrage. When he saw that the vote was very close, and with his anti-suffrage vote would be tied 48 to 48, he decided to vote as his mother had urged him: for the right of women to vote. And so on August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th and deciding state to ratify.

    Except that the anti-suffrage forces used parliamentary maneuvers to delay, trying to convert some of the pro-suffrage votes to their side. But eventually their tactics failed, and the governor sent the required notification of the ratification to Washington, D.C.

    And so on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution became law, and women could vote in the fall elections, including in the Presidential election.

  12. "Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920."

  14. On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised their right to vote for the first time. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy: Disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

  22. "As late as the 1960s, women's rights advocates were still fighting to end sex discrimination in jury selection. Ending sex discrimination in jury selection was an important goal of second-wave feminists."

  23. In 1919 Susan B. Anthony got arrested and in 1920 women had the right to vote. That is important because if it wasn't for Susan B. Anthony use girls will not have the right to vote now.
