Answer:
At the time that the Constitution was ratified, WOMEN could not vote or take part in politics. The fight for the right to vote, called WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT, was part of the first wave of FEMINISM. It was not until 1920 when the NINETEENTH Amendment was ratified that women finally won the right to vote.
Explanation:
In the first half of the 19th century, the movement for women's suffrage was quite underdeveloped, and was reduced to isolated individuals, whose views were considered exotic by the public at the time. A far greater impetus was given to him by the American Civil War, to which women on both sides made a significant contribution. Feminist ideas, smoldering within the broader civil rights movement, were first shaped into a concrete movement through the National Association for Women’s Voting Rights led by Susan B. Anthony founded in 1869 in New York City.
The feminist, or as it was then called, suffrage movement, gathered around NAWSA, had close ties to the Democratic Party and hoped that Woodrow Wilson's victory in the 1912 presidential election would help pass a constitutional amendment that would give all American women the right to vote. Finally, it was passed in 1920.
