The book ""Woman's Suffrage By Constitutional Amendment"" was written by Henry St. George Tucker and published in 1916. The book is a historical account of the movement for women's suffrage in the United States, with a focus on the push for a constitutional amendment to grant women the right to vote. Tucker begins by tracing the origins of the suffrage movement in the mid-19th century and follows its progress through the early 20th century. He discusses the various tactics and strategies employed by suffragists, including lobbying, public speaking, and civil disobedience. The book also delves into the legal and political obstacles faced by the suffrage movement, including opposition from conservative politicians and the courts. Tucker analyzes the arguments made by suffragists and their opponents, as well as the various state and federal laws that were enacted to restrict women's voting rights. Throughout the book, Tucker emphasizes the importance of a constitutional amendment as the only sure way to secure women's suffrage. He provides a detailed account of the debates and negotiations surrounding the 19th Amendment, which was finally ratified in 1920. Overall, ""Woman's Suffrage By Constitutional Amendment"" is a comprehensive and insightful account of one of the most important social and political movements in American history. It provides a valuable perspective on the struggles and achievements of the suffragists, and their legacy for future generations of women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
