1920 was the first year that women were allowed to vote all over the country.
They were not allowed to vote in 1916 except in a few places. The Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920, allowing all women to vote for the first time in U.S. history. This enfranchisement is generally credited with an increase in total votes of over eight million.
