Susan B. Anthony Amendment

The Susan B. Anthony Amendment, formally known as the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, was ratified in 1920. It granted women the right to vote, marking a significant milestone in the women's suffrage movement. Named after prominent activist Susan B. Anthony, the amendment states that the right to vote cannot be denied based on sex. This achievement was the result of decades of advocacy, protests, and commitment by many women and men who fought for gender equality in voting rights, fundamentally transforming American democracy by ensuring that women could participate fully in the electoral process.
