Women in the US won the right to do this in 1920?
In 1920 the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution said that women could not be denied the right to vote just because they are women.The actual words are: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.Most people say that "women got the right to vote", but that is not really correct.Strictly speaking, no-one in the US has a general Constitutional right to vote.The Constitution only mentions who will not be denied the right to vote.The right to vote is not mentioned at all in the original version of the US Constitution.
What two groups were left out of the constitution?

When did women get to vote all over the US?
When the 19th Amendment was finally ratified in August 1920, all American women finally achieved the right to vote. But before that, individual states had been giving women the opportunity to cast their ballots in state elections or for local offices as far back as 1870s (some sources say the territory of Wyoming gave women the vote in 1869). Some states were very specific about what voting rights women could have: in Massachusetts, for example, women were given the right to vote for School Committee in 1873, but they were not given any other voting rights, and repeatedly, the male voters refused to expand those rights. By contrast, Colorado gave women full voting rights in 1893, and Utah did the same in 1895. Montana gave women voting rights in 1914 and by 1917, the state sent a woman to congress; Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Women's suffrage (the word "suffrage" comes from an old word that means "permission") was thus a gradual, state-by-state process until 1920, when suffrage was finally attained for all women across the USA.

As a citizen of the US what does history mean to you?
Being a citizen of the United States means that when I reach the age of 18, I am able to vote. Back when George Washington was running for president, women were not allowed to vote. For all of the presidents up to Warren Harding, women were not allowed to vote for our country's leader. Now I am able to have a say in what I believe in, and reflect that in my choice for our president, all because of Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and many other radical women creating the Declaration of Sentiments. Understanding how I am able to vote is part of the reason of why I am going to vote every time I get a chance. Knowing what those women went through in order for me to vote, I am not going to take voting for granted.
