No. This is not true. In order to vote in the USA, you must be a registered voter and show proof at the polls.

Just in the USA? Well then certain topics around these dates come to mind: 1992-2000, 1972-74, 1965-1975, 1960, 1944. Apart from the Nixon dates, that's all democrat work. I'm not American, btw.

I would definitely vote for a woman. The idea that women are too emotional is a stereotype. Even so, I'd rather have someone who is emotional and sensitive over someone whose emotion is expressed in mindless bravado, like the current president. Unfortunately, the red states will never go for a woman and the GOP won't have a woman as their candidate until the 22nd century. They seem to run about 100 years behind progress.

I won't write your paragraph but it has changed the US by allowing women to vote on issues that affect them.

"Until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, Indians occupied an unusual status under federal law. Some had acquired citizenship by marrying white men. Others received citizenship through military service, by receipt of allotments, or through special treaties or special statutes. But many were still not citizens, and they were barred from the ordinary processes of naturalization open to foreigners. Congress took what some saw as the final step on June 2, 1924 and granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States."\n\nDred Scott v. Sandford (1857): Decreed a slave was his master's property and African Americans were not citizens; struck down the Missouri Compromise as unconstitutional.\n\nIn 1914, as the women’s suffrage amendment languished in Congress, Samuel McChord Crothers, a popular essayist and a Harvard Square–based Unitarian minister, made the case for equal suffrage. (The amendment did not pass that year, however; American women would not win the right to vote for another six years.)

Women's movement stretched when they felt their rights were violated why they could not congregate in groups or on the street...it was not tolerated or allowed.\n\nThe Wig party in Congress showed a more stronger approach not to associate women in Congress when their was none, it was opposed to hide the indifference in voting and yet it stirred a great talk amongst the ladies in the 1800's and that talk would eventually lead to Susan B Anthony giving us our great Flag that Women could do things that were accepted by Man and that was the turning point of women in America that would take charge when the Men went to War and Women stayed at home and started working Man Jobs to keep the economy rolling. They excelled better than Men in most cases and the path was set for good and would never be broken Even after the War, women were tossed back at home when our Soldiers came back from the War, but determined and strong the Women's movement started to accelerate and there was no more housewife to get, she was part of America's turn around and that is a fact that lives on today!

I have no idea which "women's suffrage movement" you are referring to. I don't know of any such movement in 1960 (certainly wasn't in the U.S.). But there's some information on women's suffrage around the globe at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womens_suffrage#Timeline

The "problem" or reason women were not allowed to vote was that they were viewed as inherently unequal to men. Women were thought to be weaker and unable to think properly for themselves which would result in them being unable to make wise decisions in voting. This was due to the fact that through out history women had essentially remained at home and taken care of family life, doing the cooking and cleaning while their husbands or fathers worked to provide for the family and made all of the tough decisions about money,etc.\n\nThe solution started around WWI when men had to leave their homes in order to fight the war and women had to pick up life where they left off; many women had to take jobs outside of the home for the first time and do things that only men had done previously. When the men came back from the war, the realized that women were capable of thinking and functioning on their own. This lead to the passage of the 19th Amendment in the year 1920(Woodrow Wilson was one of the leading advocates for the Amendment). Before this time however, there were several movements that helped lead up to the passage of the 19th Amendment. Women as early as Abagail Adams(wife of President John Adams) appealed for the right to vote. The most recognized names of the women's suffrage movement are Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony both of whom were present at the famous Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. This was one of the most famous examples of women rotesting for the right to vote.\n\nA modern parallel to the Women's Suffrage movement would be the Civil Rights movenment in the 1950s and 60s. African Americans had to endure the same unequal treatment and fight for their right to vote in the way women did.They had to overcome cultural obstacles in same way.

According to this site, six women have sought the GOP or Democrat nominations since 1964, but none have succeeded. They are Margaret Chase Smith (Rep), Shirley Chisholm, Patsy Mink, Bella Abzug (all Dem), Elizabeth Dole (Rep), and Carol Moseley Braun (Dem). Victoria Woodhull and Belva Ann Lockwood ran as fringe candidates in the 19th century, before women could actually vote.
