Before 1920, women in America could not VOTE.
The first women's suffrage movement occurred in 1848, but it wasn't until 1920 that the 19th Amendment was ratified. The amendment gave women the right to vote in the United States of America. At first, there was strong opposition to it from U.S sectors (such as brewers and distillers) since they believed women would vote for the prohibition of alcoholic beverages and elimination of child labour.
