Why were women able to vote in western states like Wyoming before the rest of the country?

History

Wyoming was only a territory when it began to allow women to vote in 1869, which led to a cascade of other western states allowing the same. Before the 19th Amendment, outside of New Mexico, every territory and state in the West allowed women to vote. However, it was not because Western states such as Wyoming thought that women deserved this privilege. It was a time of rapid Westward expansion, and in 1869 Wyoming had barely been able to become a territory. They added that these laws were aimed exclusively at white women. One lawmaker in Wyoming even tried to water down the bill by adding a text that explicitly gave women of other races the right to vote. But his amendment failed "because everyone said, 'Look, we know we're only talking about white women here.'" After Wyoming passed the law, states around the West saw it as an opportunity for them, too. And interestingly, even though Wyoming was the first to grant women’s suffrage, Utah was the first place where women cast a vote because their elections came first.

Describe the daily lives of medieval europeans including their homes, occupations, education, and leisure activites
Mandarinka [93]
A medieval european was most likely a serf, peasant, or a craftsman of some sort. These people represented the majority of the living populace in Europe in the middle ages. Their homes were simple, without excess luxury. They had the most basic necessities, but did not have much more, because they could not afford it. Families often lived together in huts where there was only one big space with a kitchen and a gathering place somewhere in the middle. Most European citizens at the time weren't educated, farmers, peasants, and serfs usually did not receive any formal education or very little, if they were lucky enough to be taught by the local priest or had somebody in their family that was educated. Their leisure activities were different from what we would call leisure activities today, they could singing, dancing, drinking, storytelling, etc. but how they did these things was quite different compared to today.
