Women's Suffrage

For the next half century, women would push for the vote in both the US Congress and state legislatures. For much of that period, they won only partial victories.  By the dawn of the 20th century, they could vote on school matters in 19 of what were then 48 states, and had a say on tax issues in three states.  They finally won the vote in 1920, with the addition of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
