How long did it take for the Womens suffrage act to get passed?

The Women's Suffrage Act, specifically the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, took several decades to pass. The movement for women's suffrage began in earnest in the mid-19th century, with significant activism occurring through the late 1800s and early 1900s. The amendment was introduced in Congress in 1878, but it wasn't until 1920 that it was finally ratified, granting women the right to vote. Thus, the journey spanned over 70 years of advocacy and struggle.
