At the dramatic conclusion of Iron Jawed Angels we learn that the Susan B. Anthony (Women's Suffrage) Amendment was finally ratified by a narrow one-vote margin by the Tennessee state legislature because:
state legislator Harry Burn, who had pledged to vote no, received a last minute letter from his mother urging him to yes.
a hurricane prevented several anti-suffrage legislators from traveling to Nashville for the final vote.
Tennessee representative Bernard Harry was planning to vote no but was tragically killed in an auto accident on his way to the state Capitol on the day of the vote.
Tennessee representative George Burns voted yes after being bribed with sexual favors from prosuffrage women, then was forced to resign once the scandal became public.
