What happened at the Ratification of the 19th Amendment (women's suffrage)
The 19th Amendment prohibited denying citizens the right to vote based on sex, culminating decades of activism by suffragists such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul. The movement grew from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention through decades of organizing, protests, and lobbying. Congress passed the amendment in June 1919, and it required approval from three-quarters of the states. Tennessee's ratification on August 18, 1920, secured that threshold, and the amendment was officially certified on August 26, 1920. While it expanded voting rights broadly, many women of color still faced discriminatory barriers to voting for decades afterward, particularly in the South.
