One hundred years after the passage of the 19th Amendment, THE VOTE tells
the dramatic culmination story of the hard-fought campaign waged by American
women for the right to vote - a transformative cultural and political
movement that resulted in the largest expansion of voting rights in U.S.
history. In its final decade, from 1909 to 1920, movement leaders wrestled
with contentious questions about the most effective methods for affecting
social change. They debated the use of militant, even violent tactics, as
well as hunger strikes and relentless public protests. The battle for the
vote also upended previously accepted ideas about the proper role of women
in American society and challenged the definitions of citizenship and
democracy. 
Exploring how and why millions of 20th-century Americans mobilized for - and
against - women's suffrage, The Vote brings to life the unsung leaders of
the movement and the deep controversies over gender roles and race that
divided Americans then - and continue to dominate political discourse today.
