    17 August 1920 - AMERICAN WOMEN GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE: The US women's
    suffrage movement has walked an arduous road, from 1848's Seneca Falls Convention, through decades of activism, and some violent resistance,
    but the journey ends as the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution
    is ratified 42 years after Congress first introduced it.

    The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the
    United States and its states from denying the right to vote to citizens
    of the United States on the basis of sex, in effect recognizing the
    right of women to vote. The amendment was the culmination of a
    decades-long movement for women's suffrage in the United States, at both
    the state and national levels, and was part of the worldwide movement
    towards women's suffrage and part of the wider women's rights movement.
    The first women's suffrage amendment was introduced in Congress in 1878. However, a suffrage amendment did not pass the House of Representatives
    until May 21, 1919, which was quickly followed by the Senate, on June 4,
    1919. It was then submitted to the states for ratification, achieving
    the requisite 36 ratifications to secure adoption, and thereby go into
    effect, on August 18, 1920
