Amendment19


 * Amendment 19

By: Kiersten Marymee || || "We shall someday be heeded, and–everybody will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people think that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses always were hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon today has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past." **-Susan B. Anthony**  "On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment–giving women the right to vote–was ratified, ending more than seventy years of political pressure by suffragists. Ironically, the amendment came three years after the first woman, Jeannette Rankin, had been elected to the House of Representatives, and eight years after Julia Clifford Lathrop was named director of the Children‘s Bureau, representing the first time a woman headed a federal agency. Also in 1920, the League of Women Voters was organized to educate women about politics and promote the status and rights of women. Three years later, the first version of women‘s equal rights amendment was submitted to Congress." **-** **Elizabeth Cady Stanton** ||
