Summary

The 2020 election will always be remembered for the tumultuous context in which it occurred – a pandemic, rising unemployment, social and racial justice protests. But from a women’s participation perspective, it was a record-breaking election in every way – registration, turnout, activism, and electoral successes at every level. The breakthroughs in 2020 were quite fitting because they coincided with the 100th anniversary of passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution (1920), guaranteeing the right of women to vote.
