No Place for a Woman

More about the book

The book explores the historic moment in 1869 when Wyoming became the first territory to grant women the right to vote, highlighting Louisa Ann Swain's pioneering act of casting a ballot in 1870. It delves into the motivations behind this decision, suggesting that the legislature's actions were influenced more by the desire for publicity and settlement than by a genuine commitment to equality. The narrative also examines the varied ideologies of the men supporting women's rights and the diverse perspectives of the women advocating for suffrage.
