The best choice is "Interestingly, she was a member of Congress before the ratification of U.S. Constitutional Amendment XIX, which granted women the right to vote."
In its original form, the sentence can confuse readers because the lack of commas. The ratification of the amendment has already occurred, so the sentence should include past tense verbs. The pronoun "which" properly represents the antecedent "U.S. Constitutional Amendment XIX."
