When were women not considered chattel in the US?

In the United States, women began to gain legal recognition as individuals rather than chattel in the mid-19th century, particularly with the women's suffrage movement. The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 marked a significant turning point, advocating for women's rights, including the right to vote. Legal changes continued through the 19th and 20th centuries, culminating in the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, which granted women the right to vote and further solidified their status as individuals under the law. However, full equality in all aspects of life continued to evolve well into the 20th century and beyond.
