18 août 1920 - Nineteenth Amendment

Description:

The Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote. Women like Alice Paul and Susan B. Anthony led huger strikes and petitioned in the streets for its ratification, and opposed the close-minded ideas of both men and women who believed women were mentally and physically unable to handle voting. The Nineteenth Amendment liberated women and led to a rejection of cultural norms such as modest apparel and gender roles, especially in urban areas.
