The 19th Amendment played a pivotal role in promoting reproductive rights for women, ushering in a new voting population with a political agenda that would ultimately legalize contraception and abortion. Women also experienced economic progress as a result, with the increased availability of family-planning services and supplies allowing more women to enroll in higher education and enter professional occupations. Although the amendment enfranchised all women, to ensure the amendment included women regardless of race in practice rather than just on paper, African American women worked tirelessly to connect suffrage to both gender and race in all regions of the country. African American suffragists believed voting was a tool to protect the African American individual’s citizenship and a mechanism to promote racial equality in society. The amendment ultimately granted suffrage to the majority of African American women in name only, but African American women continued to fight for the vote, as well as economic opportunities and reproductive rights and health.
