Needed revision
This article still lacks basic information on several major topics, including:
- Early Utah suffrage movement (resulted in 1870 suffrage act)
- Connected to larger American women's movements?
- How was it implemented or accepted in the territory?
- Mormon support and relationship to polygamy
- National opposition and distrust of Mormon suffrage (resulted in Edmunds-Tucker)
- Fight to regain suffrage (came with statehood)
- Involvement with the national suffrage movement (19th Amendment)
Currently the substantive discussion is only about how the Edmunds-Tucker Act changed things. I think that even that language is frequently unclear and focuses more on polygamy than suffrage. ——Rich jj (talk) 17:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
