The Weight of Their Votes: Southern Women and Political Leverage in the 1920s
Lorraine Gates Schuyler
After the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, thousands of southern women went to the polls for the first time. This book examines the consequences this had in states across the South. It shows that from polling places to the halls of state legislatures, women altered the political landscape in ways both symbolic and substantive.
