Women in Utah gained the right to vote in 1870, before it became a state. Although Wyoming passed a women’s suffrage law first, Utah held an election first and was the first place in the U.S. where women voted. In 1887, a federal law took away women’s right to vote while trying to end polygamy. Then, Utah leaders restored women’s rights to vote in the 1895 state constitution.
