The women’s rights movement achieved its most important victory in 1920 with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. For the first time in the United States women had the right to vote. The Struggle for Women's Suffrage is documented in hundreds of photographs at the Library of Congress. They include portraits of women rights leaders, cartoons and suffrage campaign scenes, and can be accessed at the following address:
