Anthony Amendment -- culminating in the adoption of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920. We’ll meet Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul, the Silent Sentinels, and the ‘New Women of the Old West’ where women’s right to vote was first adopted in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Washington, California, and Oregon before any eastern state.
