Before 1920women in America could not?

Before 1920, women in America could not vote in federal elections, as the right to vote was largely restricted to men. The suffrage movement had been active for decades, advocating for women's rights and equality. It wasn't until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 that women gained the legal right to vote, marking a significant milestone in the struggle for gender equality in the United States. Additionally, women's roles in society were largely confined to domestic responsibilities, limiting their participation in public life and decision-making.
