The Territory of Wyoming passes the. first law in the nation giving women over. age 21 the right to vote. After joining the. Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first. state to permit women the right to vote in. all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al-. lowed women to vote in municipal elec-. tions.
In the US, women received the right to vote with the passing of the 19th amendment on August 18, 1920. They first voted in National Elections in 1923. Women had earlier been allowed to vote in some of the other states. The first instance of a woman voting in America was Lydia Chapin Taft in 1756 who voted in New England town meetings. From 1790 to 1807 women were allowed to vote in New Jersey, provided they met the land ownership requirement.
