W omen did not always enjoy the right to vote and hold office. Thanks to women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women, as well as people of any ethnicity, now enjoy these rights. Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell were also involved in this major accomplishment.








While our Constitution did not pro- hibit them from voting, it did not pro- vide that guarantee. States had the ability to decide this issue until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920. Believe it or not, it was the states of the Wild West that first provided women with this right, not the “pro- gressive” states of the East Coast and New England.








Women’s Suffrage Movement
The Women’s Suffrage Movement was part of the women’s rights movement. Its purpose was getting women to have voting rights as well as being able to hold office.






Only men were allowed to vote until the 1900s in many democracies, including early British democracies, the Roman Republic, and Ancient Greece, as well as the United States.








Until the 19th amendment was passed in 1920 in the U.S., they were not allowed to vote. This occurred much later in some countries, like Kuwait, where they did not get this right until 2005.
