The Fight for Women's Suffrage

On November 6, 1917, the state of New York granted women the right to vote in all municipal, state, and federal elections. Two years later, the ratification of the 19th Amendment guaranteed all American women the right to vote. These victories were won through hard-fought battles by generations of suffragists.
