Wyoming
Suffrage leaders tried to achieve their goal in three ways. First, they tried to convinve the state legislatures to grant women their right to vote. they achieved this is Wyoming. Before thsi happened, women were in constant opposition. The liquor industry was afraid that they would vote for prohibition and the textile industry was afraid that they would vote for restrictios against child labor. And alot of men just feared the changing in womens roles. Now they can vote because of Wyoming. -
Illegal Voting
Susan B. Anthony and other women attempted to vote at least 150 times in ten different states and the District of Columbia. Then the Supreme Court ruled that women were indeed citizens but still denied their right to vote because being a citizen didnt necessarily mean they could vote now. This was part of the one of their three ways to achieve their equal rights objective. -
Supreme Court Decision
