Women demanded the right to vote.
During the 20th century, many states, mostly in the western U.S., allowed women to vote in municipal elections. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution extended the ballot to all American women of voting age.
The women's suffrage movement was a fight which spanned for decades to win the right to vote for women in the United States. It took activists and reformers nearly 100.
