This year, we celebrate 100 years since women were granted the right to vote in the the United States.  In 1848, the women's rights movement launched on a national level with the Seneca falls Convention with the right to vote emerging as a central issue for the movement.  After decades of protests, the 19th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote.  The amendment was ratified on August 18, 1920, and officially certified on August 26, 1920.
