The 19th Amendment
On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave women the rights to vote. Women started from the 19th century all the way to 1920, to finally seek victory. Women marched, kectured, fought, wrote, did everything that they could to make this come true, and it worked. After years of hard work, it payed off because they got what they were dreaming for all along. The 15th Amendment was passed, allowing African Americans to vote, and from that point on, the women haven't given up. -
