Introduction. Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to voteâa right known as woman suffrage. At the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote.
Women were not accepted in most professions. Neither group was allowed to step into a voting booth. It wasn't until 1869, when the Fifthteenth Amendment was ratified, that males of all races got the vote. It took another 50 years, with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, for women to finally get suffrage. The Twenty-Third Amendment gave limited voting rights to the residents of Washington D.C. Then the 24th Amendment banned poll taxes that some states used to chase ethnic and poor people away from the ballot box. In some places, people needed to own property to vote-not anymore.
