19th Amendment - Women's Right to Vote
Women's suffrage - the struggle for women to earn the right to vote - took the better part of a century and involved many players. From the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention to the final ratification on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment - establishing a woman's right to vote - was years in the making.
August 26th, 1920 - Ratification of the 19th Amendment
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution - giving women the right to vote - was ratified in the Tennessee legislature thanks to one man who honored the wishes of his mother. His is just one of the many stories of the days before final ratification of woman suffrage.

Did Giving Women the Right to Vote Lead to Big Government?
After passage of the 19th Amendment, government grew rapidly and women are to blame, argues University of Maryland economist and senior research scientist John Lott. This super-sizing, he theorizes, is due to the shifting political views of women as they move through the cycle of their lives and become more liberal after divorce.
