introduced in the United States Senate in 1878 and was brought

Finally, on May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives approved

on June 4. Within days, the legislatures of Wisconsin, Illinois,
and Michigan had voted to ratify the amendment.

ratify the amendment, providing the support of three-fourths of
States necessary under article V of the Constitution of the
United States.

the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States were
the culmination of decades of work and struggle by advocates for
the rights of women across the United States and worldwide.
(5) Ratification of the 19th Amendment ensured women could
more fully participate in their democracy and fundamentally
changed the role of women in the civic life of our Nation.
(6) The centennial offers an opportunity for people in the
United States to learn about and commemorate the efforts of the
women's suffrage movement and the role of women in our
democracy.

people in the United States to learn about the women's suffrage
