2025 civics test · Question 102 · Recent American History
When did all women get the right to vote?
Any one of these answers is accepted
- 1920
- After World War I
- (With the) 19th Amendment
What this means
All women got the right to vote in 1920, with the 19th Amendment.
This came after decades of work by the women’s rights movement, and just after World War I. The 19th Amendment said the right to vote could not be denied because of sex, so women across the country could vote in every election.
Any of these answers works: “1920,” “the 19th Amendment,” or “after World War I.”
Why this is on the test
This 2025 question marks when women won the vote, a major expansion of democracy that pairs with the earlier question about men gaining the vote.
