Women were allowed to vote in the USA in 1919. According to Wikipedia: "There was considerable anxiety among politicians of both parties to have the amendment passed and made effective before the general elections of 1920, so the President called a special session of Congress, and a bill, introducing the amendment, was brought before the House again. On May 21, 1919, it was passed, 42 votes more than necessary being obtained. On June 4, 1919, it was brought before the Senate, and after a long discussion it was passed, with 56 ayes and 25 nays. It only remained that the necessary number of states should ratify the action of Congress. Within a few days Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, their legislatures being then in session, passed the ratifications. Other states then followed their examples, and Tennessee was the last of the needed 36 states to ratify, in the summer of 1920. The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution was an accomplished fact, and the Presidential election of November 1920 was therefore the first occasion on which women in all states were allowed to exercise their right of suffrage."
Back when men were only allowed to vote, it was common belief (at the time) that women could not and are not as smart as a man was. So, if a woman was allowed to vote, it was thought that she wasn't smart enough to make an educated decision, and is overall too 'stupid' to vote. This is clearly proven wrong today, but it was a common belief that women weren't smart.
The 15th amendment was passed by Congress February 26, 1869. The amendment was ratified February 3, 1870 and states that: 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 race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Prior to 1865, only white men. Following the Civil War, black men could also vote (except where disenfranchised by various laws in the South). Women could not legally vote in most of the nation until 1920, although several tried. They were able to vote earlier in countries such as France and New Zealand.

The first election woman could vote was in 1920.The above applies only to federal elections in the United States. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution (ratified in 1920) provided that all women could vote in all elections nation-wide. Prior to that date, it was up to the states to decide. Consequently, before then, women were allowed to vote (both in state and in federal elections in that state) by several states, but not others.New Zealand was the first nation to grant the universal right to vote to women, in 1893 (though they couldn't run for office there until 1939).See the link below for more information about the Woman's Sufferage movement.
