Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have ratified the
Nineteenth Amendment, twelve have rejected or refused to vote, and
one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the
moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade.
The opposing forces include politicians with careers at stake,
liquor companies, railroad magnates, and a lot of racists who don't
want black women voting. And then there are the "Antis"--women who
oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about
the moral collapse of the nation. They all converge in a boiling
hot summer for a vicious face-off replete with dirty tricks,
betrayals and bribes, bigotry, Jack Daniel's, and the Bible.
Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective
forces into battle, along with appearances by Woodrow Wilson,
Warren Harding, Frederick Douglass, and Eleanor Roosevelt, The
Woman's Hour is an inspiring story of activists winning their own
freedom in one of the last campaigns forged in the shadow of the
American Civil War, and the beginning of the great
twentieth-century battles for civil rights.
