Women's Right to Vote - Shame on Mississippi!

On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, and American women were given the right to vote.  Many states had given their women the right to vote before the passage of the 19th Amendment; many states in New England had granted women's suffrage as early as 1807, but later revoked those rights.  Wyoming Territory, in 1869, was the first state to grant its women full and permanent voting rights.  Utah Territory followed in 1870.

But the shame of "last place" on women's suffrage goes to Mississippi, which didn't ratify the 19th Amendment until March 22, 1984, 63 years AFTER the passage of the 19th Amendment!
