Answer:

Due to the role women played during World War I, they were able to secure passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, giving them the right to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted women the right to vote for the first time in the U.S. history, by stating that The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

The passage of this amendment was a major accomplishment for women who had been fighting for their rights for years. As a result of the amendment ratification, their role in society continued changing nonstop, they kept fighting fiercely to enjoy the same rights that male citizens had, such as more participation over politic matters, better jobs and education opportunities and to have other activities as a citizen rather than just to focus on housework and motherhood.
