Can you tell me about the history of women's voting rights being suppressed?
<|assistant|>
For much of human history, women have been denied the right to vote. Prior to the late 1800s, this was mostly due to the prevailing view that women were not intellectually or emotionally capable of responsible decision making. In many countries, women were also denied legal ownership of property or custody of their own children. In the United States, the women's suffrage movement worked hard to secure voting rights for women, culminating with the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 which granted women the right to vote. Despite the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, many states continued to uphold laws which prevented women from voting or holding office. In the years since, the women's suffrage movement has pushed for further reform to ensure that women are given equal rights under the law. In many countries today, there are active civil rights organizations pushing for the extension of voting rights for women.
