California’s Role in Women’s Suffrage

The ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 established the right to vote for white women in America. The suffrage movement’s success depended in large part on the groundswell of state initiatives and the organization of local women’s clubs at the turn of the century. As the sixth state to allow women to vote in 1911, California served as a turning point, with a population large enough to double the eligible women voters in the country.
