The 19th amendment was a huge turning point in american history. Many people, mostly women, were happy of the change, becuase now they had the right to vote. It was a hard step toward this goal, but they didn't let the ideas of others came in their way.
It all started with the idea of women suffrage. Women wanted to vote and they didn't want anything in their way. Susan B. Anthony wanted to vote and did, she got arrested but during her trial, she said that the 14th amendment said taht she could vote. The court couldn't do anything against her word and let her go.  |

Women were tired of being labeled, and they didn't want the stereotype of being a women come in their way. So they fought hard, words of discouragement were said, but that didn' slow them down. In 1920 the 19th amendment was passed and all of their hard work finally paid off, women could now vote. Not everyone was happy. Black women couldn't vote because of their color and them being a women. They couldn't vote, and they had to fight hard to someday vote and to be finally treated like a real person.
