4h 6min, jan 1, 1887 y - Federal legislation to end polygamy
in Utah contains a measure to
disenfranchise women, who had won
the vote there in 1870. They wouldn’t
get it back until 1895. Western women
bear the suffrage torch for their Eastern
sisters in “The Awakening,” a 1915
cartoon from Puck magazine.
