In an article titled “A Century Celebration: Woman Suffrage in South Dakota, 1868–1918,” Ruth Page Jones details the numerous debates over woman suffrage legislation that began during territorial days and continued for 50 years. She tracks the various strategies suffragists used during six major campaigns that eventually led to South Dakota granting women the vote in 1918. Two years later, woman suffrage became the law of the land when Tennessee became the final state needed to approve the Nineteenth Amendment.
