Utah sesquicentennial minus 9
Happy sesquicentennial Utah! <br /><br />Women voted in Utah beginning 150 years ago tomorrow - with a gap from 1887-1896. Why? <br /><br />B/c women's votes were endlessly a political football in the anti-Mormon nat'l politics of the 19th c.

Voting rights & plural marriage: The Utah Story
In Utah, suffrage was politically entwined w/polygamy. Women 1st voted in 1870, when UT was a territory seeking to preserve plural marriage vs a hostile federal govt. Giving women the vote demonstrated their independence while enlisting them in defense of Mormon self-governance.<br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/USNatArchives" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@USNatArchives</a> In 1887, Congress outlawed plural marriage + also revoked woman suffrage in the Utah territory. So much for their concern about women's well-being. Utah women didn't get the vote back until statehood, which happened only after the LDS church renounced plural marriage. <br /><br />Utah entered the Union with woman suffrage in its constitution in 1896. #StateOfTheWeek I'm hoping some #LDSwomen <a href="https://twitter.com/TheExponent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@TheExponent</a> & elsewhere can chime in w/more historical perspective.
