The women’s movement has a proud history in the west. Colorado is the first state where women were enfranchised by popular vote. Wyoming had included women as voters in their territorial constitution from the beginning. Colorado men (the only eligible voters) approved this proposal more than a quarter century before the U.S. Constitution was amended. Women were voted into the state legislature the next year. Colorado continues to be a leader in the percentage of female legislators.
