The Perfect 36

"The Perfect 36" is a splendid documentation of the efforts of countless women and men in Tennessee, whose struggles ensured ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in August 1920 after a 72-year struggle. It is a highly readable and useful text that is appropriate for history buffs as well as undergraduate courses in a wide range of fields - American History, Political Science, Sociology, Women's Studies. The book gives voice to those who were for and against the right of women to vote with a richly illustrated volume.
