The 19th amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, was originally introduced in Congress in 1878 but was rejected by the Senate. It was reintroduced in 1918 but failed. It was approved by both houses of Congress in 1919 and submitted to the states, with Tennessee being the 36th and final state which voted for its ratification in 1920. It effectively overruled Minor v. Happersett (1875), in which the Supreme Court unanimously ruled the 14th Amendment did not give women the right to vote. Twelve more states have ratified it since, with Mississippi being the last in 1984 (after having originally rejected its ratification in 1920). The Amendment was unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court in Leser v. Garnett, 258 U.S. 130 (1922).
