zamn! that comment about the reapportion act of 1929 is criminally underrated. basically the reapportion act set in stone the number of reps in the house at 435. this is significant as it relates to the 19th in that the whole crop of new female voters did not come into their own as new "people". meaning that they were already being represented under the reapportion act and thus their "voices" were being already being heard as citizens. remember the 3/5 compromise? if women were not only disenfranchised but also dehumanized then the massive influx of new "people" would necessarily cause the house of reps to increase to accommodate all the new members of the population, but because of the reapportion act, congress knew giving women the vote would not affect anything in terms of an increase in representation.
