Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution and, while thirty-five states have ratified the amendment, one more state has to ratify for woman's suffrage to be law. Tennessee's governor agrees to call the Legislature into special session and the War of the Roses begins: yellow roses for the Suffragists; red for the Antis. For twelve hellishly hot days in August 1920, both camps headquarter at the Hermitage Hotel in the shadow of the State Capitol. Meanwhile, besieged by powerful lobbyists and political players, a group of dauntless Suffragists refuse to be intimidated as bribes, favors and whiskey flow freely. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003cem\u003eDauntless: A Woman Suffrage Story\u003c\/em\u003e, four fearless women fill the pages with the story within the story, which is theirs, after all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Intrigued by accounts of the selfless women who made Tennessee the thirty-sixth state to ratify the 19th amendment, author Paula W.
