∙ 12y agoWhen the 19th Amendment was finally ratified in August 1920, all American women finally achieved the right to vote. But before that, individual states had been giving women the opportunity to cast their ballots in state elections or for local offices as far back as 1870s (some sources say the territory of Wyoming gave women the vote in 1869). Some states were very specific about what voting rights women could have: in Massachusetts, for example, women were given the right to vote for School Committee in 1873, but they were not given any other voting rights, and repeatedly, the male voters refused to expand those rights.
By contrast, Colorado gave women full voting rights in 1893, and Utah did the same in 1895. Montana gave women voting rights in 1914 and by 1917, the state sent a woman to congress; Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Women's suffrage (the word "suffrage" comes from an old word that means "permission") was thus a gradual, state-by-state process until 1920, when suffrage was finally attained for all women across the USA.

∙ 16y ago1920 i think ANSWER On 26th August 1920 the Secretary of State certified passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, giving women constitutional protection of their right to vote. However, women had been voting in individual states since 1893. For a history of women's voting rights and of the suffrage movement, see http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAsuffrage.htm
