The 19th Amendment and the Granite State
By Shay Zeller on Wednesday, August 17, 2005.
The 19th Amendment was ratified 85 years ago today; it ensured that American women's votes would count in all local, state, and federal elections. Years of hard work went into its passage, and along the way some states crafted their own unique voting rules that applied to women only. Historian Stu Wallace takes us on a tour of 19th and early 20th century New Hampshire for a look at some of the state's quirky laws governing a woman's right to vote. Post a comment
