Amendment 19

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.


Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment gave women the right to vote.
 

 
This is a photo of a rally for women's suffrage, or the right to vote. Rallys like these eventually ended with the ratification of the 19th amendment.
 

 
This video is of a guy taking signitures for a petition to end women's suffrage, or the right to vote. He is making the point of the irony of women signing this petition to stop them from having the right to vote.
