The State of Equality

With the national campaign for a women’s suffrage amendment stalled, the thinly populated Wyoming Territory in 1869 became the first in the modern world to recognize a woman’s unqualified right to vote. Much of the American West would soon follow suit. Colorful frontier characters, a volatile mix of motives, and the caprice of history drive this story of women’s suffrage that takes place a full 50 years before the U.S. Government passed the 19th Amendment.
