Women Making History: The 19th Amendment (NPS Handbook)

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.

--19th Amendment to the United States Constitution

In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, Women Making History: The 19th Amendment weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country—including those who opposed it, the roles of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States.

Explore the complex history, pivotal movements, and places that led to ratification of the 19th Amendment—and its continued impact today!
