On June 4th in 1920, women won their long fight to vote after Tennessee became the final state to ratify the 19th Amendment. On The Point, we revisit a conversation with Elaine Weiss about her book The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote. Weiss’s book reveals a complex and fascinating history of women’s rights, and draws parallels between politics today and one hundred years ago.
Elaine Weiss will be speaking Friday February 21, 2020 at 7:30 pm at the Lillie Auditorium in Woods Hole as part of the MBL Falmouth Forum Lecture series.
