Women's suffrage in North Dakota began when North Dakota was still part of the Dakota Territory. During this time activists worked for women's suffrage,and in 1879,women gained the right to vote at school meetings. This was formalized in 1883 when the legislature passed a law where women would use separate ballots for their votes on school-related issues. When North Dakota was writing its state constitution,efforts were made to include equal suffrage for women,but women were only able to retain their right to vote for school issues. An abortive effort to provide equal suffrage happened in 1893,when the state legislature passed equal suffrage for women. However,the bill was "lost," never signed and eventually expunged from the record. Suffragists continued to hold conventions,raise awareness,and form organizations. The arrival of Sylvia Pankhurst in February 1912 stimulated the creation of more groups,including the statewide Votes for Women League. In 1914,there was a voter referendum on women's suffrage,but it did not pass. In 1917,limited suffrage bills for municipal and presidential suffrage were signed into law. On December 1,1919,North Dakota became the twentieth state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment.
