• Let's Plan a Party for the 19th Amendment?

THE date is weeks away, but I want to allow time to plan the celebration. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution will be 90 years old Aug. 26, and it deserves a big bash. It reads: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. It went through a lot before passage. In a historical paradox that reminds us that progress can be lost, women -- white women, that is, who owned property -- had been allowed at least some voting rights in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey. However, that right was lost in all states between 1777 and 1807, with New Jersey's 1807 repeal pushed by a politician who had been opposed by numerous female voters in a previous local election.
