August 18th and the Ratification of the 19th Amendment

This day in history is not only important because it is my birthday, but it is also the same day in 1920 that the state of Tennessee decided to pass the 19th amendment. This was significant because it was the last state needed to create a majority in favor among the states, bringing universal rights and suffrage to women across the United States.  While it took longer than women and others wanted, it is still a significant move nonetheless bringing the country closer to true equality amongst the masses.
