The Perfect 36: Tennessee Delivers Woman Suffrage

Authors Carol Lynn Yellin and Dr. Janann Sherman bring to life the lengthy struggle of suffragists to win the right to vote for women which culminated with the final vote needed for ratification in the Tennessee legislature. The Perfect 36: Tennessee Delivers Woman Suffrage gives voice to those who were for and against the right of women to vote, imparting a vivid sense of what it was like to win enfranchisement.

The Perfect 36, which is read by co-author Sherman, is an important resource for anyone interested in how women and men earned the right for women to fully participate in the democratic process of the United States.
