Maps showing the unequal right to vote for women across the country had been a popular tool in the suffrage movement since at least 1915, and were included on many of the handbills and postcards published by the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company. The House of Representatives passed the 19th Amendment on 21 May 1919, followed by the Senate on 4 June. The Amendment was finally ratified on 26 August 1920.
