The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1919, marked a significant milestone in American history. This Congressional Resolution paved the way for women's suffrage and granted them the right to vote. The fight for this fundamental right had been ongoing for years. In 1915, an American cartoon by Henry Mayer titled "The Awakening" depicted the suffrage cause making its way across the western states where women already enjoyed voting rights. The allegorical representation of suffrage striding towards the east symbolized progress as women reached out to join her. However, not everyone supported this movement. Puck magazine's cover illustration from June 6 showcased a squelcher against woman suffrage, highlighting opposition that existed at that time. Despite resistance, suffragist Lucy Branham took a bold stand in 1918 when she burned President Woodrow Wilson's "hollow phrases" outside the White House. This act demonstrated their determination and refusal to accept empty promises. Decades later, descendants Peggy and Hope Anthony paid tribute to their foremothers by holding floral tributes in front of the Woman Suffrage Monument at the U. S. Capitol in 1930. Their gesture honored those who fought tirelessly for equal rights. Unfortunately, even peaceful protests faced obstacles along the way. In 1918, police seized banners from suffragists before they could reach the U. S Senate – a stark reminder of how hard-won these rights were. A powerful image captured in 1917 showed a determined suffragist standing outside the White House demanding passage of the long-awaited amendment. Her presence symbolized countless others who fought relentlessly for equality. Editorial cartoons also played a role in shaping public opinion during this era. One such cartoon titled "American Womanhood - You release my shackles and I'll release yours" highlighted interconnected struggles within society and advocated for mutual liberation. Engravings like "Mrs.
