Although I now live in California, I grew up in Wyoming. Consider the following...
Wyoming is known as the equality state because it was the first state to allow women to vote. There was resistance to allowing Wyoming statehood in 1890 because it had allowed women to vote since 1869, and the rest of the United States did not want to accept this condition. The Wyoming territorial government responded to this resentment by stating "We will remain out of the Union a hundred years, rather than come in without the women."
Ester Hobart Morris was elected justice of the peace in South Pass City, Wyoming in 1870, becoming the first woman to serve in a public office anywhere in the United States.
That same year in Laramie, the first woman served on a court jury anywhere in the United States.
In 1871 in Laramie, Louiza Swain became the first woman to vote in a general election in the United States.
Susan Whissler in 1911 was the first woman in the United States to be elected as a city mayor, in Dayton, Wyoming.
In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 1920, all of it's officials and personnel were women.
Nellie Taylor Ross was the first woman to be elected governor of a state in 1925.
BTW, Wyoming is the least populated of all the states, with about 500,000 people, about 5.1 people per square mile.
