I see that @AlyssaMilano is screaming at @rosemcgowan again trying to give the racist Woodrow Wilson and the Dems credit for the the 19thA. I can’t respond to her, but it’d be awful if some of you checked her on her REVISIONIST HISTORY by showing her the ACTUAL history...
In 1896, Republican Sen. A. A. Sargent of California introduced a proposal in the Senate to give women the right to vote. The proposal was defeated four times in the Democratic-controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress, the Equal Suffrage...
... Amendment finally passed (304-88). Only 16 Republicans opposed the amendment. On 4 June 1919, the amendment, having already been passed by the House, passed the Senate by a vote of 56 to 25 and was sent to the states for ratification.

When the 19th Amendment finally was added to the Constitution, 26 of 36 state legislatures that had voted to ratify it were under Republican control. The first woman elected to Congress was a Republican, Jeanette Rankin from Montana in 1917.
As for the racist, Wilson, he was NO champion of women’s rights. He sent Suffragettes to mental hospitals.

...told the INCREDIBLE LIE that Democrats have led the way on every civil rights issue and legislation in American history.
Anyone, who believes that absolute bullshit, is either incredibly ignorant of history or is flat out lying.

The United States has never elected a woman to serve as POTUS, but that doesn’t mean it has never had one in practise, as any scholar of Woodrow and Edith Wilson will tell you.
