The passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was a 72 year long struggle. It began in Seneca Falls, NY, in 1848, and ended on August 26, 1920, when Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the Constitutional Amendment. VOTES FOR WOMEN celebrates the magnificent campaign, the ultimate victory, and the paths that contemporary women are taking in politics.
With the voices of CONSTANCE TOWERS, JEAN STAPLETON, JOHN WESLEY, RUE McCLANAHAN, SUSAN CLARK, CAROLE ITA WHITE, MARLA GIBBS, LIZ TORRES, KATHY NAJIMY and SUSAN RUTTAN, this film sets archival photographs, stock footage and live action to narration, music from the Suffrage Movement, and a new verse, to KAY WEAVER'S anthem "One Fine Day."
