Answer by  localgirl808 (405)

The nineteenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which granted women the right to vote in every U. S. state, was ratified on August 18, 1920. Prior to that, several states had allowed women to vote in local elections. The nineteenth amendment, however, opened up all elections to adult women.
