DAY IN HISTORY



December 10, 1869   Wyoming Grants Women the Vote

Wyoming territorial legislators passed a bill that was signed into law granting women the right to vote. Western states led the nation in approving women's suffrage, but some of them had rather unsavory motives. In 1869, the territory had over 6,000 adult males and only 1,000 females. Lawmakers hoped women would be more likely to settle in the rugged and isolated country if they were granted the right to vote. Wyoming became the first territory or state in the history of the United States to grant women this fundamental right of citizenship.
