Amendment 19: Women's Suffrage

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

The nineteenth amendment guaranteed women the right to vote.  This eliminated gender as being a restriction in voting.
