The 24th amendment grants women the right to vote. This amendment was ratified in 1920. It reads:
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.
This right was one of the first break throughs for women's equality. Before this amendment, women were not allowed to vote or have any impact on government or politics. Only white, land owning men were allowed to have any say in governmental matters.
