When did women get the right to vote in the U.S.?

1869
1919
1920
1925

Answer

Women were granted the right to vote in the United States in 1920, after decades of activism and struggle. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920, guaranteeing all American women the right to vote. This was a major victory for women's rights, and it paved the way for women to participate more fully in public life.
