"Most people know the Nineteenth Amendment granting women suffrage was passed in 1919 and ratified by the states the following year. What few people know is there was a forty year struggle over that amendment, with Republicans pushing for it and Democrats opposing it, until Republicans finally had the votes to get it through. Republicans proposed women's suffrage as early as 1878, but it was voted down by a Democrat controlled congress. Republicans reintroduced the issue each year...Only when the GOP won landslide majorities in both houses in 1918 did the Nineteenth Amendment finally  have the necessary two-thirds majority to pass."
