The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, achieved the right to vote for women in the United States. This amendment marked a pivotal victory for the women's suffrage movement that had campaigned for decades, advocating for equal voting rights. The amendment’s passage was the result of relentless activism, protests, and advocacy by suffragists like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and many others. Although it enfranchised women at the federal level, many states found ways to circumvent these rights through various laws such as literacy tests and poll taxes, highlighting ongoing struggles for full equality in America.
