1. Were women given the right to vote in 1920?

Explanation

In 1920, women were granted the right to vote in the United States through the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment prohibited the denial of voting rights based on gender, thus allowing women to participate in the democratic process and exercise their right to vote. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects the fact that women were given the right to vote in 1920.
