On December 10th, there will be a Woman's Suffrage Event presented by The Sheridan Press and hosted by The Brinton Museum (Sheridan Country, WY) celebrating the 150th anniversary of women's suffrage in Wyoming. Tickets to this celebration sold out within 12 hours of its releasing!
As we are finishing off the topic of the women's suffrage movement, I thought it'd be interesting to remember how this began in the United States, since Wyoming was the state to first pass the law giving women the right to vote and hold office on December 10th, 1869: over 50 years before the 19th Amendment was ratified. This event will be free and inclusive, allowing for great celebration of this momental event through exhibits, a documentary screening and various inspiring women across the state coming in as guests of honour. Cheers to women's suffrage!
