Nineteenth Amendment

[Woman Suffrage]
-Proposed by Congress on June 4, 1919; Declared ratified on August 26, 1920
 

"The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex 

Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."  

This is another very straight-forward amendment. It finally grants women the right to vote. 

What really blows my mind, is thinking about how much America hated any other ethnicity than the average white American...yet different races were granted the right to vote even before women? Something just doesn't connect there. Granted, I'm as happy as the next person that different races were finally granted equality, but its shocking to think that despite how hated other people were because of their ethnicity, women were even lower then them on certain scales.

Nobody explains it better than School House Rock. This video just does a really good job of breaking down many of the issues women were facing and the way they were treated.
