Can you tell me about the history of women's voting rights being suppressed?
<|assistant|>
From the earliest days of the United States, women's suffrage has been the subject of struggle and suppression. Before the American Revolution, many women had the right to vote in various colonial Assemblies, but these rights were gradually taken away during the formation of the federal government. It was not until 1920, almost 100 years after the founding of the nation, that the 19th Amendment was finally ratified, granting women the right to vote nationally. Despite this advancement, many states enacted various restricting laws and measures to suppress the voting rights of women. In addition, a number of cultural, economic and legal barriers are still in place that prevent women from fully engaging in civic and political life. It is still an ongoing struggle for many in the US and around the world to overcome the systemic oppression against women and secure real equal opportunity under the law.
