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.
All her life she was an active leader in groups. When the Civil War began she became a member of the St. Louis Ladies Aid Society. Around 1865, she was the first woman to suggest that women should have the right to vote. Then in 1867 she became president of the Woman Suffrage Association of Missouri. In 1869, she proposed that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution guaranteed equal rights to women.
