A child born any time during 2010 -- as late as New Year's Eve -- qualifies the parents to claim both a $1,000 child credit and a $3,650 dependency exemption. When a child is born, parents should adjust tax withholding on their paychecks to account for the reduced tax bill.
Another organization, the American Woman Suffrage Association, led by Lucy Stone, was formed in the same year to work through the state legislatures. In 1890, these two groups were united as the National American Woman Suffrage Association. That year, Wyoming became the first state to grant women the right to vote.
Wyoming women were the first in the nation to vote, serve on juries and hold public office. In 1869, Wyoming's territorial legislature became the first government in the world to grant female suffrage by enacting a bill granting Wyoming women the right to vote. The act was signed into law on December 10 of that year by Governor A.J. Campbell.
