The liberal media doesn't want you to know this!-----In 1920, Republicans Defeated Democrats' War on Women - TheBlaze

In 1920, Republicans Defeated Democrats' War on Women - TheBlaze
"...Hillary Clinton referred to Republicans as having "extreme views on women." Clinton spewed the following:
“We expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans.”
If Clinton is correct and the GOP does despise women, can you imagine what subhuman Republican legislators did to block women from earning the right to vote? Let’s check history.
Did you know that a 23-year-old Republican changed the course of U.S. women? Yes, a Republican! 
It was Republicans who defeated the Democrats’ War on Women 96-years-ago.
In 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified. It states:
“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”

Between 1910 and 1918, the Alaska Territory, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington all extended voting rights to women. 
Anti-women southern Democrats were losing a numbers war.
...Even with Wilson’s support, Democrats in Congress were able to defeat the amendment by two votes.
On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James Mann (R-Ill.) re-introducedthe 19th Amendment and it finally passed the House by a vote of 304-89
Ninety-one percent of Republicans voted for women compared to only 59 percent of Democrats.
On June 4, 1919, it passed the Senate 56-25
Eighty-two percent of Republicans voted in favor of the amendment while 41 percent of Democrats continued their War on Women. 
It was then sent to the states for ratification.
By March of 1920, 35 states had ratified the amendment, one shy of ratification. Many Democratic-controlled state legislatures voted against ratification – Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia. 
Of the 36 states to ratify the 19th Amendment, 26 were Republican states..."
