The Nineteenth Amendment
In the 1900's women were able to vote. In 1878 Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote a suffrage amendment to the Constitution. Carrie Chapman Catt gave the last fight for women's right to vote. Although women did not have every right with the right to vote they could do a lot more things and had a lot more power. FIGHT FOR RIGHT!!!!!
Working for More Rights
The women's suffrage movement lasted 50 years. Western states were the first states to give women the right to vote. Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote. Western states women had more rights because most people owned farms and every one had to work. In 1913, 12 states allowed women the right to vote.
