... Mary Haʻaheo Atcherley(pictured) was allowed to be a 1920 candidate for a seat in the senate of the
Territory of Hawaii, but legally prevented until 1922 from holding the office if she had won?
October 6, 1920 - "Mary Haʻaheo Atcherley ... successfully ran in the primaries ... The secretary of Hawaii is not vested with authority or discretion to omit from the official ballot the name of any duly nominated candidate even though it should be conceded that such candidate is not eligible for election to the office for which he or she is a candidate."
"There is no doubt in the mind of Attorney General Harry Erwin that the
19th amendment to the Constitution, while it gives women the right to vote does not give them the right to hold public office."
Overall: Well sourced, no neutrality problems, no grammar or spelling problems, and a really interesting hook. I notice that you made this during the
Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/174 which I am also working on. Really good work with this one.
