In the Margins S01E06 - Why Was Utah The First State for Women to Vote In?

In 1870, 50 years before the 19th Amendment was ratified, thousands of Utah women voted under equal suffrage law, a first in the nation. Leaders of the women's suffrage movement hoped that Utah would blaze a path for the women's suffrage and liberation. But the plan completely backfired and Utah women's vote was taken away just 17 years after it was granted.
