  • Remembering Anne Dallas Dudley in May of 1886, Dr. WE Ward
    Retired Housewife? Remembering Anne Dallas Dudley authored by: Michele O’Brien, Middle School Social Studies Teacher (February, 2020) In May of 1886, Dr. W. E. Ward addressed the audience of the twenty-first commencement ceremony at Ward Seminary for Young Ladies. The Second Industrial Revolution, with its rapidly advancing technology, increased social diversity, and economic mobility, was in full swing. In his The Coming Woman address, Ward noted that Ward’s Seminary for Girls on Spruce Street in Nashville. “Ward Seminary.” Iris, 1907. archive.org. Accessed 16 Dec. 2019. women needed to prepare for the challenges of this new world. The modern woman, he advised, ought to seek out substance in both her cultural and intellectual pursuits. She ought not “be a creature of mere fashion” or “rely on superficial knowledge.”i Like many southern gentlemen at the time, Ward cautioned against embracing modernity too wholeheartedly. “The coming woman” he warned, “ought not to seek to come to the political arena, where the rougher man contends, quarrels, and fights. She ought not, therefore, to want the ballot.”ii Dr. Ward died the following year, so he would have no idea how thoroughly that last bit of advice was disregarded by many former, current, and future Ward Seminary students. Notable among those burgeoning suffragists, and enrolled in Ward Seminary in 1886, was Annie Dallas. She was born to influence and fortune: the eldest daughter of Trevonian Barlow Dallas, a Ward Seminary Catalogue, 1887.

  • The Nineteenth Amendment & the War of the Roses August 18, 1920
    The Nineteenth Amendment & the War of the Roses August 18, 1920 Historic marker in downtown Nashville outside the Hermitage Hotel commemorates the ratification victory of the Suffragists on Aug. 18, 1920 in winning the vote for the 19th amendment. Nashville, Tennessee: August 18, 1920 In the hot and muggy month of August 1920, a national drama brought its final and perhaps most spectacular act to Nashville. A year before on June 4, 1919, the U.S. Congress had voted to append thirty‐nine words to the Constitution. Simple, straightforward words, but for all their brevity, they packed a punch. Nearly everyone who read them, or even heard about them, felt provoked to take a stand. Those thirty‐nine words comprised the Nineteenth Amendment which, if ratified by thirty‐six states, would give women the right to vote. By August 1920, when the issue was to come before the Tennessee State Legislature, the amendment was one state shy of ratification. Thirty‐five states had passed it. Despite the mere sliver of a margin that blocked ratification, the Suffragists and their supporters knew victory was not inevitable. Indeed, the Anti‐Suffragists had good reason to hope that if Tennessee failed to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, the "Perfect Thirty‐Six" would never be realized and the law would die. What ensued was a "war of the roses," with its primary battle waged in Nashville during an oppressively hot August. The town teemed with reporters from New York, Chicago, Washington, and Boston. over Celebrities such as the national suffrage leader, Carrie Chapman Catt, traveled to Nashville to help spearhead the drive for ratification.

  • 1 TEACHER's GUIDE Center for Children's and Young Adult
    TEACHER’S GUIDE Center for Children’s and Young Adult Literature, UTK City of Knoxville Suffrage Seed Fund East Tennessee Historical Society Knox County Schools The Voice that Won the Vote: How One Woman’s Words Made History By Elisa Boxer Illustrated by Vivien Mildenberger Synopsis In August of 1920, women's suffrage in America came down to the vote in Tennessee. If the Tennessee legislature approved the 19th amendment it would be ratified, giving all American women the right to vote. The historic moment came down to a single vote and the voter who tipped the scale toward equality did so because of a powerful letter his mother, Febb Burn, had written him urging him to "Vote for suffrage and don't forget to be a good boy." The Voice That Won the Vote is the story of Febb, her son Harry, and the letter that gave all American women a voice. Historical Background In August of 1920, the eyes of the nation were on Tennessee as the state legislature prepared to vote on the ratification of the 19th Amendment, also called the “Susan B. Anthony Amendment.” Thirty-five states had already voted in favor of the amendment, and Tennessee could potentially become the “Perfect 36” – the final state needed for ratification. The amendment sailed through the Senate, but the House of Representatives first voted to table the vote--a motion that, if passed, would delay, or even halt, the decision on the proposed amendment. The representatives, who had been lobbied by both the pro- and anti- suffrage factions, were closely split, and it was only the tying vote by Banks Turner of Gibson County that prevented the amendment from being tabled and cast aside.
