Women's Suffrage

Congratulations and happy anniversary to the enfranchised women of the United States.

It was on this day, August 26, ninety-two years ago, that the 19th amendment was ratified, after about 70 years of agitation. 

"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 and Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
