African-Americans got voting rights long before the first woman was appointed to the US Supreme Court.

The Fifteenth Amendment extended voting rights to African-American men on February 3, 1870; The Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote on August 18, 1920. Some states allowed women to participate in state and local elections earlier than 1920.

President Ronald Reagan appointed the first female US Supreme Court justice, Sandra Day O'Connor, in 1981.
