On August 18, 1920, when Tennessee lawmakers cast the deciding votes to ratify the amendment, victorious suffragists “launched an uproarious demonstration,” according to The Times. “Women screamed frantically,” the front page story said. “Scores threw their arms around the necks of those nearest them and danced, so far as it was possible to do so, in the mass of humanity.” “Hundreds of suffrage banners waved wildly,” the report continued, “and many removed the yellow flowers they had been wearing and threw them upward to meet a similar shower from the galleries.” The 19th Amendment became part of the Constitution on August 26 of that year, and allowed millions of women to cast ballots in the November presidential election. But the amendment’s promise was incomplete. Many American women, including some who had fought fiercely for suffrage, were still excluded from the ballot box, including Native Americans, Chinese immigrants and many Black and Latinx. A century later, equal suffrage seems like an unassailable right. But the movement’s success was never promised.
