Texas women won the right to vote in state primaries and political conventions in 1918 and Texas ratified the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the franchise, in 1919 - the ninth state and first Southern state to ratify it. (If you guessed at a bit of an an ugly story behind the speed with which Texas ratified that wondrous amendment, you are right.)
