Wyoming Quotes
Equality State
In its early history Wyoming was a very liberal—perhaps radical—state. Wyoming women were the first in the nation to vote, serve on juries and hold public office. In 1920, an all-female town council was elected in Jackson Hole, the first political unit in America to have a female government.
