Women’s suffrage activists protest at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, June 1920. At this time, 35 states had ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, with five yet to vote. When the Republican Party did not support the amendment in its platform, these activists threatened to hold the party responsible. The amendment was adopted in time for the 1920 presidential election when the Tennessee House of Representatives voted 50-49 in favor on August 18.{WHF} {HTE} {Medium} -- source link
