Answer:

Suffrage is the right to vote.

1920 (partial)

1965 (full)

Before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, individual states had passed legislation that allowed women to vote in different types of elections; some only allowed women to vote in school or municipal elections, some required that women owned property if they wanted to vote, and some territories extended full suffrage to women, only to take it away once they became states.[85] Although legally entitled to vote, black women were effectively denied voting rights in numerous Southern states until 1965.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most teachers will accept 1920.
