Girls Vote Was Never Ratified
I think the young bloggers here need a lesson in history. I believe that the 19th amendment that gave women the right to vote has never been ratified by the Congress. Ratify means to approve and sanctin formally; confirm.

As an older (40's) woman I have always been ashamed that our Congress has refused to ratfy this amendment. Check it out.

Except that Congress doesn't ratify anything... the states have to ratify amendments to the Constitution. I think you might be thinking about the when the amendment was voted upon in 1918. The Senate voted it down by two votes. But the next year, it got the two-thirds vote necessary to send the amendment to the states.

You might also be thinking about a particular state whose legislature refused to ratify the amendment. I don't know which, but regardless, the amendment was ratified by 36 states.

It wouldn't be an amendment to our Constitution if it hadn't been ratified. Perhaps you're thinking of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, which has never been ratified.
