In what year did women gain the right to vote in the United States?

Women in the United States gained the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920. This landmark decision followed a long and arduous struggle by women's suffrage activists, who fought for decades to secure voting rights. The 19th Amendment states specifically that citizens cannot be denied the right to vote on the basis of sex, thus granting women the legal ability to participate in elections. The passage of this amendment marked a significant victory in the broader women's rights movement and has had lasting impacts on American society and politics.
