It was on this day in 1920 that the 19th Amendment was formally incorporated into the U.S. Constitution. It said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." It ended more than 70 years of struggle by the suffragist movement.

Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the proclamation that morning at 8 a.m. at his home. There was no ceremony of any kind, and no photographers were there to capture the moment. And none of the leaders of the woman suffrage movement were present to see him do it. Colby just finished his cup of coffee and signed the document with a regular, steel pen. Then he said, "I turn to the women of America and say: 'You may now fire when you are ready. You have been enfranchised.'"

From Today's Aug 26th Writers Almanac.
K is correct. You others....
Doc.

My apologizes, I remembered Google had a 19th Amendment link on their page homepage on the 18th. As well as quite a few other sites stating August 18th such as Wiki.

Not trying to say anyone here is wrong.

End woman's suffrage now!

I'll be sure to take the wife to dinner, let her drive and park the car, and pay the tab. I'm sure she will appreciate the equality......

My apologizes, I remembered Goggle had a Th Amendment link on their page homepage on the Th. As well as quite a few other sites stating August Th such as Viki.

The problem is the difference between ratified and Incorporated. Words make a difference. It's like the difference between the Church in England (Henry the VIII) and the Church of England (Elizabeth I) two very different things.

I hope no one took my comments personal. Doc pointed out I was wrong. I tried to justify my answer and was shot down again. Now I know.

Would you please go back to lurking? I think it's the best for all involved.
