aug 4, 1915 - Suffragettes

Description:

Jan 12 The United States House of Representatives rejects a proposal to give women the right to vote. In favor are 174; against 204. It is seen by many as a defeat for the Suffragettes rather than for women in general. Four states already allow women to vote, and there are complaints from conservatives that it should be for individual states to decide the issue.
