Protesters - Women - Front

There is not universal age when a girl is considered a woman as it depends on the individual. A girl may be considered a woman by her maturity level or after becoming completely independent. Some cultures consider that a girl becomes a woman after her first menstrual cycle.

Women got the right to vote in the US after the 19th amendment gave the women the right to vote. The 19th amendment was passed by Congress on June 4, 1919 and it was ratified on August 18, 1920. Achieving this milestone took decades of protests by women suffrage supporters who lobbied, marched, lectured, wrote, and committed civil disobedience to achieve this goal.
