Connecticut ratified the 19th Amendment on September 14, 1920, becoming the 37th state to grant women the right to vote.

No posts were found.

In 1919, Congress passed the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution, and when it was ratified a year later, women across America won the right to vote. This historic event happened because thousands of women – called suffragists – fought for over 50 years to secure this right. The Women’s Suffrage Centennial Celebration Series is sponsored by the Redding League of Women Voters and the Mark Twain Library in celebration of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. Throughout the rest of 2020 the library will offer programs and an exhibit in our display cases honoring the women of the suffrage movement, their vision, and efforts.
