on August eighteenth, nineteen twenty, and certified on August twenty sixth,

34
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.000
nineteen twenty. Tennessee became the thirty sixth state to ratify

35
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.800
the amendment, providing the required three fourths majority of states.

36
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.080
The first national election in which women could vote was

37
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.360
the presidential election of November nineteen twenty. Question three asked

38
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.159
which country was the first in the world to grant

39
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.479
women the right to vote in national elections. Answer New Zealand.

40
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.680
New Zealand granted women the right to vote in eighteen

41
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.840
ninety three, making it the first self governing country in

42
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.639
the world to do so. However, women in New Zealand

43
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.439
couldn't run for office until nineteen nineteen. The first European

44
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.680
country to grant women's suffrage was Finland in nineteen oh six.

00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.319
Question four asked who was the first woman to run

46
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.520
for president of the United States, doing so nearly fifty

47
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.159
years before women could legally vote. Answer Victoria Woodhull. Victoria

48
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.240
Woodhull ran for president in eighteen seventy two as the

49
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.560
candidate for the Equal Rights Party. She was a colorful

50
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.360
and controversial figure, advocating for women's suffrage, labor reforms, and

51
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.719
free love. Her run for presidency was largely symbolic, as

52
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.439
she didn't appear on official ballots and was even arrested

53
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.639
on election day on obscenity charges. Question five asked what

54
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.120

US presidential election answer, she became the first woman, first

56
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.919
black person, and first person of South Asian descent to

57
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.240
be elected Vice President of the United States. Kamala Harris's

58
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.800
election as Vice president broke multiple barriers simultaneously. Her victory

59
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.560
came exactly one hundred years after the nineteenth Amendment was ratified,

60
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.759
symbolizing a century of progress in women's political representation. Thank

61
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.520
you for joining me. I'm journey Joe Mitchell on this

62
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.800
empowering journey through women's equality trivia. From the suffragists of

63
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.480
the nineteenth century to the trailblazers of today, women have

64
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.120
fought tirelessly for equal rights and representation.
