Recently read No Place for a Woman: The Struggle for Suffrage in the Wild West, by Chris Enss. I am very glad I read this. I never realize how much effort, over many years, was put in by many women and some men, to change the laws so women could vote. Also the push to enable women to vote, encouraged other women's rights to increase, like opening up traditionally male professions, equal pay, in divorces more often able to get custody of the children and to own property.
This book did cover how the struggle happened in each western state, but how it went also on the national level.
