Herstory Events:
On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the
amendment, and two weeks later, the Senate followed. When
Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on
August 18, 1920, the amendment was adopted. It reads: The right
of 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 power to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.
The 19th Amendment reads, The right of 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
power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
When we shall have our amendment [for
woman suffrage] . . . everybody will think it was always so
. . . They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that
she stands upon today has been gained by the hard work of some
little handful of women of the past. —Susan B. Anthony, speech at the
National-American Convention, 1894
