In the 1920s, the right to vote in the United States was primarily granted to men and, following the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, women as well. However, many women, particularly those of color, faced significant barriers such as discriminatory practices and laws that effectively disenfranchised them. Additionally, voting rights for African Americans and other minority groups were severely restricted in many Southern states through measures like literacy tests and poll taxes. Thus, while the legal framework for voting expanded, actual access to the ballot was often limited by systemic inequalities.
