Wyomig was the first state to grant full suffrage to women.
Since Wyomig is on the north west of U.S.A., it may have been on the WEst region.
But also check out the facts on Wikipedia.com. It tells us that it was Finland that was the first to fully grant women the suffrage rights.
The suffrage movement started in the early to mid 1800's by pioneers Susan B. Anthony (Massachusetts), Elizabeth Cody (New York), Lucy Stone (Massachusetts). Later, Ida Harper (Indiana) became a vocal voice in the movement and Josephine Brawley-Hughes (Pennsylvania) brought the issue out West to Nevada where her husband and later her son became governors of that state. Both husband and son made woman's rights a major issue. Although the beginnings started in the Northeast, it was in the western territories where woman gained a lot during the 1890's.
