Answer:
Prior to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, women could already vote in some states
Explanation:
The 19th Amendment secured voting rights for all American women for the first time in American history when it was ratified in August 1920. Prior to the passage of the amendment, women could vote in some states; for example, some of the first states that gave women the right to vote was New Jersey which allowed unmarried women that met certain conditions to vote from 1776 to 1806 (it later revoked the statute that allowed them to vote), the Wyoming Territory which enfranchised all women in 1869 as a means to gain women population in the territory and when it became a state, about two decades later, it kept women's right to vote; and Utah which also allowed woman suffrage in 1896 when it was admitted into the Union
