Context

The amendment followed a seventy-two-year campaign that began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. While some western states had already granted women voting rights, the 19th Amendment made it a constitutional guarantee across all states. The final push succeeded partly due to women's contributions during World War I, which strengthened arguments for their full citizenship rights.
