19th Amendment

The 19th Amendment is the right to vote for women, which became law on August 26, 1920. Now women have the right to be democratic, political and voting people. They could have their own opinion and give them officially. ( Stalcup, Brenda. __Women's suffrage__. [2000]: 184-185 )

Women joined the labor force when World war I started. The work included working with aircraft, steel, machine-tool, high-explosives, textile and weapons factories, and driving ambulances. Other women worked in brass and copper smelting and refining and oil refining. Women assisted producing chemicals, fertilizers, and leather goods as much as railroad, automobile, and airplane parts. Thousands helped their country as the military. Others took care of the injury by the war or made military uniforms. These changes are the source which is the 19th Amendment.
