XIX Amendment

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


As the pursuit of women's rights became more eminent in the early 20th century, the National American Woman Suffrage Association helped gain voting rights for women by the passage of the nineteenth amendment in 1920.






I like the illustrator's thinking here! The woman says, I'm voting so YOU be the housewife for once!













After a weak start, this video ends up being quite a laugh as the young people ask some passersby to sign a petition to repeal women's suffrage (19th amendment)!
