In 1848 thats when the movements of women rights began to rise in numbers on a national level.
The first womens rights contention was held in Seneca Falls where more than three hundred people who were mostly women attended. Women believed that they should have better opportunities for employment and education, most of the delicates in Seneca Falls agreed that women were their own individuals and deserved their own political ideas. The women rights movements then found themselves in another setback after being divided over the issue of voting rights for black men. The Fifteenth Amendment was then ratified in 1870 and despite the conflict between the two organizations there was a win in voting rights in 1869 when Wyoming Territory gave women twenty one and older the right to vote. Women suffrage still continued on throughout the years until 1919 when a republican from Illinois proposed the house of resolution to accept and approve the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote. The measure was passed the house with 42 votes above the required two-thirds majority and two weeks later on June 4th 1919 the Nineteenth Amendment was then
passed.
