= WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE =



The 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was enacted in 1920, after Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment. However, the road to achieving this goal was long and hard, as many women fought for the right to vote. Many suffrage leaders believed the best way to achieve universal suffrage was by gaining the right to vote in each individual state. Others believed suffrage could only be achieved through an amendment to the Constitution. There were also some women who did not believe women should be allowed to vote. The cartoons linked below reflect all of these positions.
