Last day of Womans History Month and interesting fact
The 19th Amendment didn't give all women the right to vote.

The 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, was signed into law on August 26, 1920. But at the time, a number of other laws prohibited Native American women, Black women, Asian American women, and Latinx women from voting, among others. It wasn't until 1924 that Native women born in the United States were granted citizenship, allowing them to vote. Asian American immigrant women received voting rights in 1952, and Black women in 1965. Last of all, it wasn't until 1975 that non-English speaking women were granted voting rights with an extension to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This included predominantly Latinx women.
