19th AMENDMENT | Woman finally got the right to vote in 1920; however, some states were slow to ratify the amendment. This was a major step toward equality for women. The amendment also prohibited the government from denying a U.S. citizen the right to vote. Politics had become a focal point for women during the latter part of the 19th and early 20th century. The right to vote helped push through additional reforms in the years to come.
