Question:

when were women granted to vote



Answer:

In the United States, the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote was ratified on August 18, 1920. The 19th Amendment in the Bill of Rights states "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." Some states allowed women the right to vote before this amendment was ratified, but the 19th amendment extended voting rights women all over the United States.
