"On Aug. 18, 1920, the United States government ratified the 19th Amendment, giving American women the right to vote."
"'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,' it read."
"While this marked a pivotal moment in American history, not every American woman was actually able to vote when the time came to do so. Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian American women continued to fight for their own enfranchisement and voting rights long after the 19th Amendment was passed."
