Women Who Kick Glass - S1 E19 Febb E. Burn

Welcome to "Women Who Kick Glass" with Ann Potenza, a weekly podcast that brings to life the powerful stories of the fearless women who shaped the world and continue to inspire today. Did you know that Febb E. Burn secured women's suffrage through a letter to her son, Tennessee State Representative Harry T. Burn, that persuaded him to cast the deciding vote for the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote? Her action is remembered as a powerful example of how a private, personal act can dramatically influence the course of history, and how every vote carries significant weight.  In the 1800 U.S. Presidential election, Thomas Jefferson was elected president by one vote in the House of Representatives after an Electoral College tie, and in 1923, one vote within the Nazi Party gave Adolf Hitler its leadership. Numerous documented cases at local, state, and even national levels prove that one vote, or a handful of votes, can and does change election outcomes and shape history. Your vote represents not only yourself but also the interests of those who cannot vote. Your vote CAN make a difference. Tune into the story of Febb E. Burn on the Season One finale episode of "Women Who Kick Glass" and get inspired! Host/Writer: Ann Potenza. Announcer: Josh Smith. 2025 Women Who Kick Glass - All Rights Reserved.
