EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing women exercising their right to vote at the polls in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, USA. The image is based on an illustration by an unknown artist featured in the November 24, 1888 edition of Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper. In 1869, the groundbreaking Wyoming Suffrage Act was passed, making Wyoming the first territory or state in the United States to guarantee full suffrage for its women citizens. This significant milestone marked a turning point for women's rights and set a precedent for progress across the nation. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the tireless efforts made by suffragettes and organizations advocating for women's voting rights. It symbolizes their determination and resilience during a time when gender equality was fiercely contested. Preserved within this archival piece are traces of our collective history—a testament to how far we have come and how much further we still strive to go. It stands as both a celebration of past achievements and a call to continue fighting for equal representation and empowerment today. Ken Welsh's expertly captured image transports us back to this transformative era—immersing us in its atmosphere while honoring those who paved the way towards greater inclusivity and democratic principles.
