The Territory of Wyoming passes the. first law in the nation giving women over. age 21 the right to vote. After joining the. Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first. state to permit women the right to vote in. all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al-. lowed women to vote in municipal elec-. tions.
Weâve all heard about the womenâs suffrage movement and how women were finally given the right to vote with the approval of the 19th amendment. But in truth, many states had already granted women the right to voteâjust not all states. Women in Wyoming had been voting since 1890, with Colorado following close behind in 1893. The 19th amendment, approved in 1919, forced all states to follow what many were already doing.
