Elaine Weiss, “The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote”

Presented by the ‘Buzz’ Westfall Favorite Author Series

Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, 12 have rejected or refused to vote, and one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade. Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, “The Woman's Hour” is an inspiring story of activists winning their own freedom in one of the first great twentieth-century battles for civil rights.
