will have significant meaning given that 2020 is the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (1920), granting women the right to vote. This was the major victory of the movement, which also included reforms in higher education, in the workplace and professions, and in health care. (from Wikipedia)
The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.
Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest.
And the Speaker is none another than Nancy Pelosi - keep those boots on his neck Speaker Nancy.
Remind all women young and old of that 1920 achievement. Women's rights will not be turned back.
Go Dems!!

Trump at the signing ceremony of H.R. 2423, The Womens Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act:
THE PRESIDENT: Thats a big thing. This is a great youve been working on this for years, right? (Applause.)
So and they have. Theyve been working on this for years and years. And Im curious, why wasnt it done a long time ago, and also well, I guess the answer to that is because now Im President, and we get things done. We get a lot of things done that nobody else got done. But maybe you could say a few words, just on (inaudible).
