This gem passed on from a coalition partner:"As the 19th Amendment was passed, success was won only after 56 state referendum campaigns, 480 legislative campaigns for state suffrage amendments, 47 state constitutional campaigns, 277 state party convention campaigns to get suffrage planks in the party platforms, and so forth and so on... "
from Lillian Faderman, To Believe in Women (Houghton Mifflin, 1999)
