Best Answer

In New Jersey, due to laws coming about in 1790, women had the privilege of suffrage provided they met certain requirements regarding property. This lasted until 1807, when the law was stricken down.

Wyoming was the first state to instate suffrage privileges that would last, followed by Utah. However, the reasoning for these rights being given is murky and shrouded in political and cultural back-handedness. For instance, in Utah, the vote was given to women so they would be less inclined to participate in sororal polygamy.
