Friday, April 25, 2003 ::: Quoth Clayton Cramer: (link from Volokh) What's interesting is that the Mormon Church (still supporting polygamy at the time) gave women the right to vote in 1870, and it was Congress that took it away in 1887, as part of an anti-polygamy law. The Mormon Church apparently didn't think that women voting would be a problem for polygamy. An interesting bit of trivia. ::: posted by Steven at 3:34 PM Comments: Post a Comment
