How polygamy helped Utah women get the right to vote

Recommendable! What a story! Utah was the first state to introduce voting rights for women in 1870! To link polygamy and suffrage in such a way as happened in this article is a feminist plot!

"And as the national battle over polygamy continued, Congress stripped Utah women of their suffrage in 1887. They would regain the right to vote when Utah became a state in 1896."

Utah/Mormons should have never given up polygamy to become a state of the union!
