State Ratification of the 19th Amendment:
Wisconsin and Michigan were the first states to ratify the 19th amendment on June 10, 1919. Tennessee, the thirty-sixth and final state officially ratified the amendment on August 24, 1920, just over a year later. Alabama and six other states defeated the suffrage amendment during the ratification campaign, but once signed into law the 19th amendment gave all women the right to vote. |
