The 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

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.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

To quote Mary Poppins… Well done, sister suffragettes. The battle is not yet won, and those of us still fighting salute you, and thank you.

    I am still amazed at how many Americans, male AND female don’t vote though! Here in Australia voting is compulsory.
