First U.S. presidential election with women voting nationwide

The November 2, 1920 presidential election was the first national election held after ratification of the 19th Amendment, allowing women across the United States to vote.

Nationwide women’s suffrage substantially expanded the electorate and marked a major democratic change that shaped voter turnout and political dynamics in the election occurring at the end of Wilson’s presidency.
