Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -June 10, 1919: Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin became the first states to ratify the amendment. “A Vote for Every Woman in 1920!” declared the National American Woman Suffrage Association after the passage of the 19th Amendment by Congress on June 4, 1919.

Detailed explanation-2: -They wrote articles and circulated petitions, preached from soap boxes and pulpits, organized massive marches, and suffered jail terms. These efforts secured piecemeal victories that gave millions of women the vote before 1920 and made possible the triumph of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Detailed explanation-3: -All women were allowed to vote to start from the first general elections in 1951. The British opposed allowing women to vote in various ways, for years until India was independent. On the contrary Indian constituent assembly adopted universal suffrage and voting rights for women without much debate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. The 19th amendment legally guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle-victory took decades of agitation and protest.
