A unique collection of scholarly essays and primary documents, Votes for Women! brings into sharp focus the suffrage battles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Not only does the book examine the struggle at the national level but it looks in depth at how the drama played out in the South and in Tennessee, which in 1920 became the pivotal thirtysixth state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendmentthereby making woman suffrage the law of the land.The volume contains six essays by leading scholars on topics ranging from the strategies suffragists used to raise the national consciousness to the participation of AfricanAmerican women in the movement. Also included are discussions of antisuffragist beliefs and literature, the obstacles to woman suffrage in the South posed by white supremacy and states rights, and the ways in which women have used their political power since receiving the vote.A special feature of the book is its compilation of primary materialsarticles, speeches, cartoons, and broadsidesrepresenting the viewpoints of suffragists and anti suffragists alike. Among these documents are the previously unpublished memoirs of the Tennessee antisuffrage leader Josephine Anderson Pearson and a chapter on Tennessee from the 1923 book by Carrie Chapman Catt and Nettie Roger Shuler, Woman Suffrage and Politics, which contains a fascinating firsthand account of the final, noholdsbarred battle over woman suffrage in Nashville during the summer of 1920.Published to coincide with the seventyfifth anniversary of the suffragists victory, this book, at once stirring and thoughtful, commemorates the courage of those involved in the suffrage movement and recaptures the intensity of emotions and ideology on both sides.
