One hundred years ago, Missourians awaited news regarding the
ratification of the 19th Amendment. The state had approved the amendment,
which prohibited the federal government and states from denying a citizen
the right to vote based upon sex, a year prior, in 1919. However, it would
take another year before Tennessee became the 36th and final state needed to
ratify the new constitutional amendment in August 1920. Enjoy this 4 part podcast from the State Historical Society of Missouri Also now available on demand a 2 part series - "Votes for Missouri Women" |
