    Remembering Memphis Rep. Joseph Hanover and his role in Tennessee’s women’s suffrage

    The article honors Memphis Rep. Joseph Hanover for his crucial role in ratifying the 19th Amendment on August 18, 1920. This vote enshrined American women's right to vote in the U.S. Constitution, culminating a decades-long struggle. Hanover kept pro-suffrage votes together despite strong opposition from powerful forces like House Speaker Seth Walker.
