=﻿= =19th Amendment= The 19th Amendment allows all women to have the right to vote. In the 1800s, women organized, petitioned, and picketed to win the right to vote. Sadly it took them decades to accomplish their purpose. In th begginning of the mid-nineteenth century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. In the begginning of the 1800s women petitioned and petitioned for the right to vote. Between 1878 and 1920 women worked tirelessly, but some of their goals veried. Opponents heckled, jailed, and sometimes physically abused them. Eventually on August 26th, 1920 Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the ratification. It changed the face of American electorate. It was so long so, very few early supporters were able to see the final victory in 1920.
