When was the 19th Amendment ratified?
The 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920, prohibiting any citizen of the United States from being denied the right to vote based on their sex. It was passed by Congress and gave all women throughout the country the right to vote. Achieving this milestone was a very difficult struggle and victory took decades of protest and agitation to achieve. Several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience for years before the radical change to the Constitution would take place. Very first of the early supporters of the cause lived to see the final victory occur in 1920.
