It took more than 70 years of hard campaigning. It required the energy and ingenuity of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Alice Paul, and thousands of other women in the American suffragist movement. But in August of 1920, the Tennessee legislature ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, by one vote, and women's suffrage became the law of the land.

The dramatic struggle for American women's right to vote and the powerful personalities who brought the decades-long effort to fruition are the subject of “Votes for Women: Unfinished Business,” a traveling exhibition. This panel exhibition includes images of women suffragists and their opponents, handwritten letters, posters, pamphlets, campaign memorabilia, and other movement artifacts that document a fascinating chapter in American history.
