Utah women's political organizations

Since the beginning of political activity in Utah, Women were highly involved in their local political system. This is evident in the very fact that the Utah Constitution granted women the right to vote—20 years before the 19th Amendment was passed nationally.[1] Despite high levels of female participation in politics and government, the issue of women's suffrage saw both support by Utah women[2] and opposition by many other Utah women.[3]
