That is not correct. Some women in the U.S. had the right to vote before 1920, depending on which state they lived in. In California women got the vote in 1911, thanks to an initiative that passed. In Wyoming it was even earlier; Since statehood in 1889 (if my memory serves me well.) 1920 is when all U.S. women got the right to vote, because of an amendment to the Constitution.
I should have been more precise. But what you write is not entirely correct either. Not all women were able to vote after the Constitutional Amendment was passed in 1920.
Wyoming actually passed equal suffrage back in 1869 when it became a territory. Keeping said suffrage was a self imposed catch to their achieving statehood in 1890.
Trivia, now irrelevant: Women in Afghanistan were given the right to vote in 1919 – before American women were granted that right.
