I
hope I'm correct in remembering
that the 19th Amendment was
the right for women to vote.
If yes, then the most obvious
difference would be that women
wouldn't be full citizens, because
they wouldn't have the access
that full citizens deserved.
Further down the road, the consequences
of women winning the vote has
led to women's political participation--including
a gender gap that has emerged
in the past five presidential
elections. This participation
as voters means that women are
speaking up for what they believe
in--and furthermore, ensuring
that when politicians represent
their citizens that includes
representing female citizens.
