When did women get the right to vote in the U.S.?

Frequently Asked Questions
All women in the United States won the right to vote when the 19th amendment passed in August 1920, approximately 7 years before Victoria died. There were a few states, though, that granted voting rights to women long before 1920. The women of New Jersey had the right to vote in 1776, as long as they were free (not slaves), owned property and met the state's residency requirements. In 1807, New Jersey took the right to vote away from women. Women were unable to vote again in the U.S.

Why did you sue for your right to vote?

K.R.Ä.T.Z.Ä. - Right to vote - FAQ
First, we demand our right to vote because we think that everyone has a right to take part in decisions. Everyone concerned by decisions must have the chance to influence them. People under 18 years still lack this opportunity. For this reason, we also think that children's interests aren’t given enough consideration in the parliament. A second important reason is our interest in discussing the subject „Right to vote - why only for adults?" in public.

The "canonical" five victims are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly. Certain theorists have discarded Stride and Kelly from this list, while others have added to it, contending that Martha Tabram and Alice Mackenzie were likely Ripper victims as well.
