The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote

byElaine Weiss

Thirty-five states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, twelve have rejected or refused to vote, and one last state is needed. The Woman’s Hour combines character, setting, dialogue, and narrative tension, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of biography & autobiography and history, The Woman’s Hour explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the great fight to win the vote emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
