    I loved hearing more history about Wyoming with regard to women’s suffrage.

    Utah sure had a lot of battles to deal with, but in the end I’m glad their right to vote was reinstated. “Decrease their femininity,” is crazy. Although I guess eventually we did stop wearing dresses in general eventually. Haha.
