Story highlights. (CNN)Mixed martial arts fighter Kimbo Slice died Monday, according to the MMA organization that represented him. He was 42 years old. One of the most popular MMA fighters ever, Kimbo was a charismatic, larger-than-life personality that transcended the sport.
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.
Women were granted the right to vote by the 19th Amendment, passed by Congress in 1919 and ratified by enough states in 1920 to take effect. In 1923, the Supreme Court decided that federal minimum wage legislation applying to women infringed on the liberty of contract and thus on the Fifth Amendment.
