The Tribune’s response to the Nineteenth Amendment
One hundred years ago today … New Yorkers were responding to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment (which we featured yesterday). The Tribune’s coverage over its first two pages featured comments from suffrage activists, some history of the suffrage movement, and pictures of famous suffragists, living–Carrie Chapman Catt, Vira Boarman Whitehouse, and Anna Howard Shaw–and dead–Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
New York Tribune, 19 August 1920, p. 1-2. Chronicling America.
Note the map on the bottom, which shows the states (in dark ink) that had declined to ratify the amendment.
