The Nineteenth Amendment

In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson accepted and supported the amendment to let women vote. The wording of the amendment has not changed since Susan B. Anthony had written it in 1878. The Nineteenth amendment became a law on august 26, 1920. Women now have the right to vote and now women have a say in political and government issues. Now the Declaration of Independence applies to everyone, men and women. The Nineteenth amendment fought for womens rights to vote and to be equal to men. It is for the National Women's Suffrage Association. It was the largest organization of women's suffrage in the U.S. The Nineteenth amendment is "the right of citizens to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
