Although the rest of the country granted women the right to vote with the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1919, Utah was the last state in the Union to allow women this privilege, finally ratifying the law in May of 1957. This was largely because the lawmakers feared that if women were given the right to vote earlier, they would have voted to outlaw polygamy, which wasn’t legally abolished until 1970.
