A Slice of History: Wyoming's Women's Suffrage Story
June 25, 2025, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Wyoming Women's History House, Laramie, WY
You might know that Wyoming is The Equality State, but do you know the history behind it? In 1869 Wyoming made history as the first U.S. territory to give women the right to vote. Fifty-one years later, the nation followed Wyoming’s lead.
Join us for the perfect pairing of pizza and history with Kylie McCormick, a young historian who loves snooping into the past to uncover meaningful stories. We’ll kick off the evening with a bit of trivia, where you’ll have a chance to compete for a $50 gift card! Then, you’ll settle in with some pizza and soda while Kylie tells the story of Women’s Suffrage in Wyoming.
Kylie McCormick was born and raised in Casper, then studied in Roanoke, Virginia; Berlin, Germany; London, England; and Lincoln, Nebraska. She holds two Bachelor of Arts degrees, Summa Cum Laude from Hollins University and a Master of Arts degree in history from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Kylie uses her research to teach classes with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Casper College, as well as give public presentations on Wyoming history.
