On June 4, 1919, the United States Congress approved the 19th Amendment and sent it to the states for ratification.
The amendment prohibited denying the right to vote based on sex and represented a major victory for the women's suffrage movement after decades of activism and advocacy. More than a year later, the amendment was ratified and became part of the U.S. Constitution, extending voting rights to millions of American women.
This milestone remains one of the most significant moments in the history of voting rights and equal participation in American democracy.
