The 19th Amendment

19th Amendment
Karissa Troyer

   The nineteenth amendment gave women the right to vote. Most of the women started to protest. There were some women that started protesting but decided to stop because they thought that it would start a war with the men. They knew the men would win since they are more experienced and are stronger. The ones that stayed never gave up. Some of the leaders that were protesting even got arrested, but they never gave up.

   The first and second president of the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association never gave up on fighting for their rights. Elizabeth Stanton and Susan Anthony were the names of the two presidents. Neither of the two women gave up through the protesting. Both women were stubborn and worked really hard for what they wanted. From all the hard work of all the women, the nineteenth amendment was passed on June 4, 1919.
