Description: "The map shows the status of women suffrage, or the right of women to vote on an equality with men, on August 1, 1920. The white areas were full-suffrage states; slanting lines indicated Presidential suffrage; squares, primary suffrage; black, no suffrage. A Constitutional amendment to grant suffrage to all women of the United States passed the House of Representatives on May 21, 1919; the Senate, June 4. It was ratified in 1920. By referring to the map the reader may see the progress of the movement." — Foster, 1921
