Why Was Utah The First State for Women to Vote In?
Season 1 Episode 6 | 11m 57s | CC
In 1870, 50 years before the 19th Amendment was ratified, thousands of Utah women voted under equal suffrage law, a first in the nation.

But the plan completely backfired and Utah women's vote was taken away just 17 years after it was granted.
