[When Tennessee, the 36th state, ratified on Aug 18, 1920, Alice Paul, national chairman of the Woman's Party, unfurled the ratification banner from suffrage headquarters, Washington, DC]
Photo shows a group of women waving their arms in celebration while the ratification banner with its thirty-six victory stars hangs from the balcony of the National Woman's Party headquarters and proclaims the triumph of the cause for which the Woman's Party was founded--the national enfranchisement of the women of America.
