Picture depicting women fighting for women's rights years after Seneca Falls.
Years following the Seneca Falls Convention, women continued fighting for their rights. It wasn't until 1920 that one of the most important events involving women's suffrage occurred. On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the ability to vote. On November 2 of 1920, just months later, over 8 million women would vote for the first time. Over 70 years removed from Seneca Falls, women had gained the right to vote. The years after would see more rights given to women. Elizabeth Cady-Stanton and Lucretia Mott helped lay the foundation for women's right with their organization of the Seneca Falls Convention, and years later, women finally began to experience life with full control.
