The 19th amendment was created as a result of the women's sufferage movement. Women wanted to have the right to vote, which would bring them closer to their ultimate goal of equality with men. They belived that they were a part of society as much as men were, and that they should have the right to have their opinions heard in important matters of government. The 19th amendment allowed them to be a part of the voting process and gave them the opportunity to fight for what they wanted for their nation.

∙ 14y agoThe 19th Amendment, passed by Congress in 1919, and ratified in 1920, ultimately gave women the right to vote. The history of the 19th Amendment is steeped in lengthy struggles and campaigns, referred to as the Women's Suffrage Movement.
When you ask "where" did the 19th Amendment start, the answer would be in Seneca Falls, N.Y., where the first Woman's Rights Convention took place in 1848.
By the year 1878, a constitutional amendment was proposed, before congress, that provided, "The right of citizens to vote shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." This same constitutional amendment was proposed, for the next 41 years and ultimately passed by congress in 1919.

Women wore banners and pins supoorting their hopeful cause. One women in the 1900s was wearing a jackect that had a message about women's sufferage and was trampled to death by a mob in the streets so that people wouldn't see her message. Eventually Congress agreed that women should have the right to vote and the law was passed later.
