• Woman Suffrage and the 19th Amendment
  By the mid-1800's, woman suffrage supporters were lecturing, writing, marching, lobbying, and practicing civil disobedience in a battle to achieve Constitutional change allowing women the right to vote. These efforts continued until August 24, 1920, when the nineteenth amendment tot he Constitution was ratified. The National Archives and Records Administration has created a Web site of primary sources, activities, and links to related Web sites for educators and students to commemorate this struggle.
