Women's Suffrage

A new historic marker program has been launched to commemorate women's suffrage in the U.S. Just this week, the first historic marker in Wyoming was dedicated at the Cheyenne home of Esther Hobart Morris.

A telegraph that proclaimed the historic event said: "Wyoming, the youngest and one of the richest Territories in the United States, gave equal rights to women in actions as well as words."

It's only fitting that when the newspaper USA Today starts asking for nomination for 'Woman of the Century,' many Wyoming women should be on that ballot.

Why does the Equality State celebrate statehood on two separate days?
