when did women win the right to vote
19th Amendment Ratified. On Aug. 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was ratified, 72 years after the struggle for womenâs suffrage began. Of the 260 women that attended the first Womenâs Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, only one â Charlotte Woodward â was still alive to cast her first official vote.
