Wyoming: Pioneer of Women's Voting Rights

Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869. The student created a website to summarize their research on this topic. They began by reading encyclopedias for an overview, and found primary sources like Wyoming's law book and speeches by Susan B. Anthony. The website included slideshows, videos, and images to present the information. Granting women's suffrage contributed to their civic responsibilities and helped increase Wyoming's population at the time.
