Equal suffrage Was provided for in tae
organic law at the time Wyoming was
admitted to The Union. Not until twenty
four years afterward did woman win il
another State, Colorado IN 1893 granting
her the right to vote Three years
later Utah and Idaho were won over to
equal suffrage ID 1879 Washington
passed her equal suffrage amendment.
California was next to fail in line with
votes for women. and al the last election
