With Burnâs vote, the 19th Amendment was fully ratified. When Did Women Get the Right to Vote? On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified by U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, and women finally achieved the long-sought right to vote throughout the United States. On November 2 of that same year, more than 8 million women across the U.S. voted in elections for the first time. It took over 60 years for the remaining 12 states to ratify the 19th Amendment. Mississippi was the last to do so, on March 22, 1984.
Women werenât allowed to vote until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920. In fact, it took womenâs rights activists at least 70 years to win this right. In early America, women werenât allowed the same rights as men. Married women could neither own property nor legally claim any money they might earn. They also lacked the right to vote. The womenâs rights movement to win the right to vote didnât organize itself as a national fight until 1848. When the American Civil War broke out, the movement lost some momentum. Womenâs rights reformers strongly objected to the 15th Amendment that would give black men the right to vote but no women irrespective of skin color. In 1869, Wyoming Territory decreed that all female residents aged 21 years and above could vote.
