Women are Granted the Right to Vote!
The Nineteenth Amendment was ratified to the Constitution on August 18, 1920, stating that no one can be denied to vote based on their sex. The women's suffrage movement caused the amendment to be passed by Congress. The amendment was drafted by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Wisconsin was the first state to ratify the amendment on June 10, 1919. Congratulations women, you can now vote!
