賦予女性投票權的第19項憲法修正案 (Nineteenth
Amendment) 於1919年6月4日送交各州認可
因為有許多婦女努力爭取自己的投票權利，所以現在你的母親與祖母都可以參與公職人員的選舉了。但是在八十幾年前，當國會通過婦女投票權的憲法修正案後，婦女還是為了這樣權利而一直努力爭取著。西元1919年6月4日，國會將這項憲法修正案送交美國各州，讓各州進行認可或同意的程序。這個程序一共花了一年多的時間才全部完成。
Today, your mother and grandmother can participate in electing public officials because of the hard work of a lot of women.

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.
