Further Explanation:

Throughout American history, women were limited in terms of their political power. Throughout the 18th, 19th, and the beginning of the 20th century, women were not able to vote. This would all change with the passing of the nineteenth amendment. This change in voting laws was thanks to the women's suffrage movement.

Lead by women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul, this movement began with the Declaration of Sentiments that was presented at the Seneca Falls Convention. This 1848 convention was the beginning of women's attempt to gain the right to vote on a national level.

At this convention, women created the Declaration of Sentiments. This document outlined the injustices faced by women within American society. Similar to the Declaration of Independence, this document had a list of grievances that women had against the American government. The most important grievance was their inability to vote.

Over the course of roughly 60 years, women continued to fight until they gained the same political rights as men.
