Apparently, New Jersey allowed women, free black citizens, and even non-citizens voting rights that met property requirements, requirements that were pretty low at the time as far back as 1776. Early America allowed for states to have more power than the federal government.

What state gave woman the right to vote?
Currently all States in the USA allow women to vote.Wyoming was the first state to give women a right to vote.But the first state to give the ability to vote to women was New Jersey. This may actually have been the result of an oversight in the wording of an 18th century law. By 1807, the "flaw" in the wording of the law had been recognized, and the ability to vote was taken away from women along with a number of other groups of people, including blacks. We don't always move forward.
