Voting Equality: 19th Amendment

The women's suffrage movement was sparked by the First Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. The movement was a mass effort that involved several generations of women and employed sophisticated political strategy and organization. Even after the 19th Amendment was ratified, many women remained unable to vote due to discriminatory laws.
