Women's Suffrage
August 2020 is the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution--which guaranteed the right to vote to women.
There were 48 states at the time, and 35 state legislatures passed the amendment before Tennessee did. When the Tennessee General Assembly ratified the Nineteenth Amendment on August 18, 1920, the amendment cleared the Constitutional requirement that 3/4 of the states approve it.
