• Commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution which granted women the right to vote

Stamp Category:  Commemorative
Value:  55¢ First Class Mail Rate (Forever)
First Day of Issue:  August 22, 2020
First Day City:  Seneca Falls, New York
Quantity Issued:  30,000,000
Printed by:  Banknote Corporation of America
Printing Method:  Offset, Microprint

Why the stamp was issued:  Issued for the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote.

About the stamp design:  Pictures a stylized illustration of women suffragists wearing clothing and carrying banners in the traditional colors of the National Woman’s Party – purple, white, and gold. Original artwork by Nancy Stahl.

First Day City:  The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held virtually due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The First Day of Issue postmark was from Seneca Falls, New York, the birthplace of the women’s rights movement.

History the stamp represents:  Some women spent their entire lives dedicated to adding the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott were essential in the beginning of the movement. Their passion helped form the National Woman Suffrage Association and organize the first women’s rights convention, known as the “Seneca Falls Convention,” in New York. They paved the way for the next generation of strong-minded women to continue their legacy.

Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul, and Lucy Burns took the reins around 1910. Paul and Burns organized political protests and started picketing the White House in 1917. Even though they received the support of President Wilson a year later, the picketing continued until the House of Representatives passed the amendment in 1919.

On August 18, 1920, over 65 years of hard work paid off. Tennessee was the 36th and final state they needed for the 19th Amendment to be ratified. In 2020, the USPS issued a commemorative stamp to honor this important centennial. Although many different approaches were used, their goal was always the same – women’s right to vote.
