Marching for women’s right to vote This photograph of the fourth
annual suffrage parade in New York City in 1913 shows some of
the march’s 10,000 participants. In the early 20th century,
suffragists marched, petitioned, lobbied, and were even arrested
in their pursuit of voting rights for women. In 1920, the 19th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted women the right to
vote. National Archives, Records of the Office of War
