ACROSS THE FENCE: Vermont 19th Amendment Centennial

February 8, 2021, marks the 100th anniversary of Vermont's ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. Our state had the opportunity to be the final state to carry the 72-year suffrage movement over the finish line, giving women the vote…but this did not happen.

What is the story behind Vermont's absence from the path-breaking first 36 states? To find out, tune in to Across the Fence, February 8, 12:15 p.m., WCAX-TV. Host Fran Stoddard explores this little-known history with Sandra Dooley, Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance executive committee member, and historian, Marilyn Blackwell.
