DELAWARE’S HISTORIC DECISION

On March 23rd, 1920, the state of Delaware became the last state to make a decision regarding Women’s suffrage. If the state voted “yes” to the 18th Amendment, then women would finally be able to vote in the upcoming November presidential election.

The fight for women’s suffrage had been a long and difficult one, spanning decades of protests, speeches, and civil disobedience. Many brave women had risked their lives and reputations to fight for their right to vote, arguing that they deserved equal rights and representation under the law.

By the early 1900s, the women’s suffrage movement had gained significant momentum, with many states passing laws that granted women the right to vote. However, there were still several states that remained holdouts, including Delaware.

On March 23rd, 1920, the Delaware legislature finally made their decision, voting “yes” on the 18th Amendment and granting women the right to vote. This decision was historic, marking the end of a long and hard-fought battle for women’s suffrage in the United States.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of suffragettes across the country, women finally gained the right to vote in the 1920 presidential election. This was a major milestone in the fight for women’s equality, and it paved the way for future generations of women to participate in the democratic process and have their voices heard.
