Dear Ray et al, Per your statement: "The issue of citizenship became important when women received the right to vote in national elections by virtue of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920. They had been able to vote in school elections for 20 or more years in some states by that time and in Wyoming and other states in local and state elections for a lesser number of years. But that didn't require U.S. citizenship, only local residence." In reality, Wyoming gave full sufferage to women in 1869, followed by Utah in 1870. By the time of the 19th Amendment in 1920 only 8 states had absolutely no votes for women and the great majority of the remaining 40 states allowed women to vote in US Presidential elections.
