Question

When did all women get the right to vote?

✦ OFFICIAL ANSWER ✦

1920; after World War I; (with the) 19th Amendment

Why This Is the Answer

All women got the right to vote in 1920, after World War I, with the 19th Amendment. Any of these answers is acceptable.

The women's suffrage movement fought for decades to win this right. Leaders like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul organized protests, marches, and hunger strikes to pressure Congress.

The 19th Amendment states: 'The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex.' It was ratified on August 18, 1920.
