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.
Wyoming was only a territory then, but when it became a state in 1890 that right carried over to its constitution. Utah allowed women to vote in 1870, but it was also only a territory at that time. Colorado first allowed women to vote in 1893, and it was a state by then. But, the story is much more complicated (as is all history) so see the details below.
