Women gained the right to vote

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women gained the right to vote early in the twentieth century with the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. The Bill of Rights, which includes the first ten amendments to the Constitution, did not address women's suffrage, and while the Civil War led to the abolition of slavery, it did not immediately grant voting rights to women. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was primarily focused on ending discrimination against African Americans and did not directly address women's suffrage. The era of Jacksonian democracy, which occurred in the 1830s and 1840s, preceded the women's suffrage movement.
