So I really appreciate you giving me that nod because it's been a big part of my journey, that publication.
Yes.
So, you know, the women's suffrage movement got its start, the first women's right convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848.
And it was kind of this radical declaration at the end of this articles of sentiments to add the right to vote.
You know, women wanted...
equal pay.
They wanted custody of their children.
They wanted property rights.
And these early suffragists realized if they didn't have voice, if they didn't have power at the ballot box, there would be no way to get those votes.
you know, other rights that we should have as human beings.
But Wyoming was the first state to actually formally recognize that power.
And a lot of women in Wyoming were incredibly active in the suffrage movement nationally.
What's really neat, too, about our suffrage history is
not only were we the first state to recognize women's right to vote and enfranchise women, we also recognized women's right to hold office with that legislation.
So it was, you could go to the ballot box, but you could also hold positions of power, which was incredibly revolutionary at the time.
And so because of that, Wyoming gave the country its first female governor.
Nellie Taylor Ross.
She actually went on to become the first female director of the U.S.
Mint, and she served in that role for, I believe, 20 years.
We gave the country its first female justice of the peace, Esther Hobart Morris.
