Senator Cynthia Lummis(@SenLummis):On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote nationwide. Wyoming is proud of our legacy—granting women suffrage in 1869, decades before, earning us the nickname "The Equality State." Today we honor the generations of women whose determination strengthened our republic—and reaffirm that every citizen has both the privilege and responsibility to take part in self-government.
