The 19th Amendment: A Step Toward Equality Between Men And Women

The 19th Amendment means a lot to me, especially since I am a girl, it was a big step towards equality between men and women. For the longest time, women treated like garbage. Men thought they were incapable of doing the things they could do such as vote or work beyond the house. They thought they were ignorant, stupid, and not deserving to be treated like a human. Woman back then could not own property in a lot of states nor could they even have any kind of education. It was considered “unnecessary and frivolous”. Apparently, women were only good for taking care of the home and children and pleasing their husbands.
If Congress hadn’t passed the Amendment, who knows how long it would take before men could finally realize how wrong they were.
