The Equality State became Wyoming's nickname in relation to issues of women's rights. Public office, voting and other women's issues were first faced in Wyoming.


The official state nickname for Wyoming is "The Equality State", because the Wyoming Territory (and later State) was one of the first places in the world to give women the vote. It was also the first State to elect a female Governor, with Nellie Taylor Ross being elected in 1924.

Wyoming is also known as "The Cowboy State" and "Big Wonderful Wyoming".
