![]() | Splintered Sisterhood When Tennessee became the thirty-sixth and final state needed to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment in August 1920, giving women the right to vote, one group of women expressed bitter disappointment and vowed to fight against "this feminist disease." Why this fierce and extended opposition?

Marshall is University Distinguished Teaching Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. |
