It's also worth noting that the Republican party led the women's suffrage movement.

The 19th amendment was ratified almost entirely by state legislatures that were controlled by Republicans. I think that only one was controlled by Democrats.

Women also had the right to vote in many state elections before the 19th amendment was ratified. Those states were almost exclusively Republican.

I think Wyoming was the first state to give the franchise to women...heh
