In the February Tennessee Bar Journal, Bill Haltom suggests the perfect Valentine’s Day gift your sweetheart: a charter membership in the Perfect 36 Society. The Perfect 36 Society is an emerging group of Tennessee women (many of whom are lawyers) who are working to celebrate the upcoming centennial of Aug. 8, 1920 — the day Tennessee became the final state that ratified the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing American women the right to vote. Although the centennial is four years away, the group will begin the celebration later this year with the unveiling of the Tennessee Women’s Suffrage Monument in the Legislative Plaza in Nashville. Learn more about that historic day and the women’s suffrage movement in Tennessee at the UT Daily Beacon.
