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.
