What gave woman the right to vote?

The status of women slowly began to change in the late 18th century. Certain women came forward and showed they could succeed in areas that had been left to men. Women started to run businesses, write books and participate in intellectual pursuits. Public schools and later colleges started educating women and people men began to see that women had brains as well as bodies. Certain women then began to campaign for civil rights- the right to own property in their own name even if married and later the right to vote and hold office. Even happily married women who liked being mothers and home-makers began to wonder why they could not vote as well as men and their husbands ran out of logical answers. So, eventually more and more men agreed that women should be allowed to vote. Politicians could see that if women were allowed to vote and if their party was the one that gave them that right, they would possibly get a large block of votes on that account, so the move was on to give women the vote. The 19th amendment to the Constitution finally gave them that right in the US.
