Nineteenth Amendment
Women casting their votes in New York City, c. 1920s.
Key leaders in the fight for the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, included Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Stanton, a prominent figure in the women's rights movement since 1848, formulated the initial demands for women's suffrage in the United States. Anthony, a tireless organizer and activist, collaborated closely with Stanton for over 50 years, campaigning and speaking extensively to advance the cause. Their combined efforts and leadership were instrumental in paving the way for the eventual passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.12345
