In the Tennessee Legislature on the fourth, amendments to a bill to protect married women’s property were offered. One provision would grant voting rights to unmarried women owning taxable property and to any married woman with separate property if her husband is insolvent, with the husband disenfranchised. A second clause would deem as a misdemeanor any woman who seduces or coerces a male into marriage using cosmetics or fashionable adornments, with a $100 fine and potential imprisonment.
