Ask the local activists...
Title
Ask the local activists...
Description
Debate re: amending the Constitution vs a state-by-state strategy continued almost all the way to 1920. By the 19th A's passage, nearly 1/2 the states let women vote at least partially. Long before any part of the country was "flyover territory," nat'l leaders were sometimes out of touch w/the situation in the states. @cmMcConnaughy quotes an activist who wrote CarrieChapmanCatt: "You say you have talked with 'no one who feels the slightest hope of success in Colorado,' are you sure you have talked with anyone who understands the situation here?"
