'On June 10, 1919, the Wisconsin Legislature passed a resolution ratifying the Federal Constitutional amendment abolishing sex as a qualification of voters. Theodora Youmans ( Wisconsin Women's Suffrage Association President, 1913-1919) recounts the early story (1846-1911) as an historian and reports on later events (1912-1919) as an active participant: "All of this I saw, part of it I was".
