People who fought for women to vote

Susan B. Anthony was probably the biggest fighter for women rights in general  and although she was dead when the 19th amendment was passed i still feel as if she made a big impact on women's right to vote. Another person who made a big impact was Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

History of women voting rights

Women in the United States didn't have the right to vote for a very long time which i think was a very good example of sexism but finally the 19th amendment was passed by congress on june 4, 1919 and it granted women the rights to vote.
