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
西元1920年，由于已经有四分之三的州认可了第19项修正案，于是妇女才终于享有投票权。一名叫做爱丽丝．保罗 (Alice Paul) 的妇女，在积极争取投票权成功之后，在星条旗上绣上最后一颗星星，代表妇女投票权运动的胜利。像爱丽丝．保罗这样的妇女，被称做为主张妇女有权参政的女子，她们为了能和男性一同在「选举日」 (Election Day) 享有投票权，争取了超过70年的时间。
Once three-fourths of the states had ratified the 19th Amendment, women were granted the right to vote in 1920. A woman named Alice Paul, who had fought for suffrage, stitched the final star in a banner celebrating the victory of the suffrage movement. Women like Alice Paul were called suffragettes, and they fought for more than seventy years for the right to vote alongside men on Election Day.
