The movement to get all American women to the ballot box stretched from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution represented the efforts of thousands of women – and men - in most of the states and territories of the United States. Starting simply, with lectures, letters, and petitions a giant network grew to incorporate a huge collection of strategies to gain first the attention of the legislator and the voter and then to achieve equal status at the polls. New technologies were embraced over the decades, including telephones, motion pictures, and even the earliest airplanes.
