Talk of women's suffrage dates all the way back to debates over the Constitution in 1786-1787, but serious national efforts at women's suffrage didn't really begin until the late 19th century, almost 100 years later.

That being said, individual states did grant women the right to vote, Wyoming being the first in 1869 (in order to have enough voting citizens to quality for admission to the union). Fortunately or unfortunately, that right was revoked by Congress in 1887.

From there, the suffrage movement gained organization and momentum, culminating in widespread protests and demonstrations in the 1910s. The 19th amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing a woman's right to vote was ratified in 1920.

I'm going to say it started with Abigail Adams when she told her husband to include women in the "All men are created equal" line in the Declaration.

We actually got the right to vote when the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on 18 August 1920. I believe Tennessee was the final state in okaying the Amendment.
