About Women Win the Vote: The 19th Amendment Is Ratified

On August 26, 1920, Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the proclamation certifying the 19th Amendment, and with that stroke of a pen, millions of American women became full voting citizens for the first time. The victory had been earned through decades of marches, petitions, rallies, and determined organizing, from small-town meeting halls to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. August 26 is now observed as Women's Equality Day, a reminder that the right to cast a ballot was won through courage, persistence, and an unshakable belief in equal dignity under the law.
