WOMEN GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE

suffrage-amendment-hf.jpgTHE 19TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS FINALLY RATIFIED

Taunton Daily Gazette
Taunton, Mass.
August 18, 1920

Tennessee ratifies the Susan B. Anthony constitutional amendment becoming the 36th state to do so. The amendment gives women the right to vote in national elections regardless of state laws. Two big headlines announce the historic news: “FEDERAL SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT IS RATIFIED TODAY. LONG FIGHT FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE WON AT LAST.”

This is the complete 10-page newspaper in very good condition stored flat since 1920 in an original bound volume. Couple of minor corners missing, usual browning, but very nice overall…and displayable to make a great conversation piece.

$475
