19th. Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Was Proposed on June 4, 1919 and ratified on August 18, 1920.

"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. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
We might be a hell of a lot better off if only women could vote.

They could vote, but it took them a while to get the hang of it. With the advent of women voting in 1920, the next three presidents elected were Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. Not an auspicious beginning.
