No, the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, does not mention gender. It specifically prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." As a result, women were not granted the right to vote through this amendment, leading to further advocacy for women's suffrage, which was eventually addressed in the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
