The race to ratify the 19th Amendment began on this day in history, June 4, 1919, after Congress passed the text of the amendment. The amendment granted the right to vote to women.
The Senate voted 56-25 in favor of the amendment, said the U.S. Senate's webpage for the centennial of women's suffrage. Eventually, each U.S. state would ratify the 19th Amendment. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
