Women voted in New Jersy from 1790 to 1807, if they met other requirements.

Wyoming passed women’s sufferage in 1869. They thought it would attract women (of which they felt a distinct lack).

Women won the right to vote in Utah in 1870 by the territorial legislature, but were disenfranchised by Congress in 1887, when civil marriage licences were also required to aid in prosecution of polygamy.

Colorado passed women’s sufferage in 1893.
