Fascinating Politics

How They Voted: Women’s Suffrage

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Suffragists_Parade_Down_Fifth_Avenue%2C_1917.JPGSuffragette march in New York City, 1917.

 

August 26th was the 99th anniversary for women’s suffrage but this year constitutes the 100th anniversary Congress voted to ratify. By 1919, much of the country was in support of suffrage with a majority of holdouts being from the South. In addition to the affinity of its politicians for state’s rights on the question of civil rights they also feared that the approval of the 19th Amendment would further legitimize the 15th Amendment, as black women would be granted the vote. Indeed, Southern Democrats attempted to amend the 19th Amendment to apply it to white women only. Below is the vote breakdown, with the House passing it May 21st 304-89 (R 200-19, D 102-70), with one Prohibitionist and Union Labor member voting for as well. The Senate followed suit on June 1st 56-25 (R 36-8, D 20-17). Accompanied with these of course are my ideological scores from the Congress it was passed in.
