Here is a quote form the link:
On January 10, 1918, the House of Representatives proposed a federal constitutional amendment with the required two-thirds majority. However, the resistance of Southern Democrats in the Senate delayed a vote in the second chamber until October 1, when the amendment failed by two votes. After falling short again on February 10, 1919, the suffrage amendment was finally approved by the Senate on June 4, 1919.
Takes alot of opposition to stall a social movement, yet there were many in Congress who did not approve of the women's rights movement. Makes you wonder, huh?
