Tennessee Women's Suffrage Memorial, Knoxville

The life-size bronze sculpture of three women in downtown Knoxville's Market Square honors female campaigners for the state of Tennessee to ratify the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution to grant women the right to vote. Tennessee was the final state to ratify the amendment and have it added to the Constitution, and thus was the focus of considerable effort both from local women and those traveling from other states to assist them. The ratification vote was passed on August 18, 1920.

The memorial, created by Nashville artist Alan LeQuire, depicts leaders of the suffrage movement, namely: Elizabeth Avery Meriwether of Memphis, Lizzie Crozier French of Knoxville, and Anne Dallas Dudley of Nashville. Funded with private donations, it was commissioned by the Suffrage Coalition and unveiled on 26 August, 2006 as part of a day of commemorations, which included a re-enactment of a suffrage march, with women in vintage clothes and replica sashes, carrying replica banners.

The base of the sculpture features text on the campaign and a number of quotations from the campaigners, including the following by Harriot Eaton Stanton Blatch:

"All honor to women, the first disenfranchised class in history who unaided by any political party, won enfranchisement by its own effort alone, and achieved the victory without the shedding of a drop of human blood."
