Which Amendment granted women the right to vote?

The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution is the amendment that granted women the right to vote. Ratified on August 18, 1920, this amendment marked a significant milestone in the women’s suffrage movement. It states that the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex, effectively ensuring that women could participate in elections on equal terms with men.

The broader context of the 19th Amendment highlights the long struggle women faced to achieve voting rights, which included decades of activism, protests, and advocacy. The right to vote for women was a critical step towards gender equality and expanded democratic participation in the United States.

In contrast, the other amendments listed address different issues: the 18th Amendment instituted Prohibition, the 20th Amendment adjusted the terms of the President and Congress, and the 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition. None of these amendments relate to voting rights for women.
