In the United States, women were legally allowed to hold executive office starting with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. However, the specific ability to hold executive office varied by state and was influenced by local laws. The first woman to hold an executive office in the U.S. was elected in the 1930s, but comprehensive legal equality in all states took several more decades to achieve.
