In January 1928, Woodrow Wilson announced that women's suffrage was urgently needed as a "war measure", during World War One. The House of Representatives passed the federal woman suffrage amendment 274 to 136, but it was opposed in the Senate and was defeated in September 1918. Another attempt in February 1919 also ended in a failure.
In May 1919 the House of Representatives again passed the amendment 304 to 89 and on the 4th June 1919 the Senate finally gave in and passed it by 66 to 30. On the 26th August the 19th Amendment was certified by the Secretary of State.
The women's right to vote was ratified on the 18thAugust 1920.
One thing to consider is the fact that not all women in America were given this right to vote. As American Indian women were not citizens at this point in time, they were not given the right to vote until 1924. This was the year that American Indians were given citizenship.
