1869

1869 was a big year for the women's rights movement. In May,Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton form the National Woman Suffrage Association. Their goal was to acquire a Congressional amendment to the Constitution regarding women and their voting rights. In November,Lucy Stone, Henry Blackwell formed the American Woman Suffrage Association (with the help of others). This group mainly focuses exclusively on gaining voting rights for women through amendments to individual state constitutions. Thankfully, their fight seems to have paid off because on December 10, The territory of Wyoming passed the first women's suffrage law. The following year, women begin serving on juries in the territory.
