Women Vote
Sanctioned on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution approved American women the right to vote—a right known as woman suffrage. When the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote. It wasn't until 1848 that the movement for women’s rights launched on a national level with a convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Following the convention, the demand for the vote became a focus of the women’s rights movement. After a 70-year fight, these groups finally arose triumphant with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
Before this event, it stole equality from the women because they deserve to be treated equally as well as the men. If the men get to vote, then that should give women the right to do so as well. After this event, it gave the women a lot of equality because once they were allowed the right to vote, it made them feel much more equal to the men. Not only did it give them a say in government, but it made them realize the respect they received and how they were being commended for their fight against the issue.
