What Woman Is Considered The Founder Of Modern Nursing?

Wyoming was the first U.S. state to grant women the right to vote—way back in 1869.

Decades before the 19th Amendment, Wyoming Territory passed a law giving women full voting rights, earning it the nickname "The Equality State." The motive wasn’t purely progressive—some lawmakers hoped it would attract more women to the sparsely populated frontier—but it still made Wyoming a trailblazer in women's suffrage.
