#OnThisDate August 18, 1920 - Suffrage Secured

A Milestone In American Democracy Was Achieved With The Ratification Of The Nineteenth Amendment To The United States Constitution, Finally Granting Women The Right To Vote.

This Landmark Event Culminated Decades Of Struggle By Suffragists Who Fought Tirelessly For Gender Equality.

The Amendment’s Passage Hinged On The State Of Tennessee, The 36th State To Ratify, Securing The Necessary Three-Fourths Majority Of State Legislatures.

The Decisive Vote Came From 24-Year-Old Tennessee Representative Harry T. Burn, Who, Swayed By A Letter From His Mother Urging Him To “Be A Good Boy” And Support Suffrage, Cast The Deciding Ballot.

This Victory, Which Took Place In Nashville, Tennessee, Marked A Turning Point In The Fight For Women’s Rights, Enabling Millions Of American Women To Participate Fully In The Democratic Process And Heralding A New Era Of Civic Inclusion.
