赋予女性投票权的第19项宪法修正案 (Nineteenth
Amendment) 于1919年6月4日送交各州认可
因为有许多妇女努力争取自己的投票权利，所以现在你的母亲与祖母都可以参与公职人员的选举了。但是在八十几年前，当国会通过妇女投票权的宪法修正案后，妇女还是为了这样权利而一直努力争取着。西元1919年6月4日，国会将这项宪法修正案送交美国各州，让各州进行认可或同意的程序。这个程序一共花了一年多的时间才全部完成。

On June 4, 1919, Congress sent the potential amendment to the Constitution to the individual states for ratification, or approval. It took more than a year to complete ratification.
