“So, the amendment passes in 1919 and all of the sudden, the women’s groups look around and they think, hey wait a second. 1920 is coming. And 1920 is a presidential election year. So we’ve got a hard deadline we want to get to. We don’t want women to vote for dogcatcher in their local town, we want the big enchilada, we want to be able to vote for President”

Tour Guide Tell All’s Celebration of the Centennial of the ratification of the 19 th Amendment reaches its dramatic conclusion this week as we focus on the final push towards passage. This episode is going to take us to Nashville, TN and introduce us to a whole cast of interesting characters, including a very unlikely hero and a strong willed mother.

We are joined by Special Guest Kaitlin Calogera who helps us break down the drama of that hot August in TN.
