19th Amendment. Introduction. Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to voteâa right known as woman suffrage. At the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote.
The Womenâs Rights Movement, 1848â1920. The beginning of the fight for womenâs suffrage in the United States, which predates Jeannette Rankinâs entry into Congress by nearly 70 years, grew out of a larger womenâs rights movement. That reform effort evolved during the 19th century, initially emphasizing a broad spectrum of goals before focusing solely on securing the franchise for women.
