The document examines the impact of women's suffrage on public education funding in five Southern states following the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. It posits that women, valuing child welfare more than men, influenced local educational expenditures and tax revenues, leading to increased spending on white schools but not on black schools. The study utilizes newly digitized county-level data from 1910 to 1940 to demonstrate a significant rise in educational spending post-suffrage, particularly in areas with higher female voter representation. The findings suggest that women's enfranchisement shifted public policy towards greater investment in education, highlighting disparities based on race.
