Answer: B. Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:
- <em>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.
</em>
- <em>
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>
The proposal to add such an amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but Congress did not pass the amendment till 1919 -- after the experience of women taking on greater roles in the country during the First World War. The amendment achieved ratification by a sufficient number of states and was added to the Constitution by August, 1920.
Western states had taken the lead in granting women voting rights, before the passage of the 19th Amendment made women's suffrage a national reality. Because of women's expanding roles in the West, they also became much more involved politically in the newly established Western states -- and full voting rights came first to women in Western states. In 1890, Wyoming became a state--and the first state in the US that allowed women to vote. The next states to grant women the right to vote were also all Western states: Colorado in 1893, Utah and Idaho in 1896, Washington in 1910, California in 1911), and Oregon, Kansas, and Arizona in 1912.
