Utah Women's Suffrage Association

The Utah Women's Suffrage Association was a group formed in the late 19th century advocating for women’s right to vote in Utah. Founded in 1870, it played a crucial role in promoting women's political participation and broader social reforms. The association worked tirelessly to secure voting rights and challenged social norms of the time. Its efforts contributed to Utah becoming the second territory in the U.S. to grant women the right to vote in 1870, setting a precedent that influenced the national suffrage movement, leading to the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women nationwide voting rights.
