Technically it was New Jersey, but that right was taken away from New Jersey women in 1807. Wyoming became the first place to let women vote where that right was never taken away. The story is complicated ,so see the details below.
New Jersey granted women the vote under the state constitution of 1776, New Jersey women lost the vote in 1807
The territory of Wyoming passed their suffrage law on December 10, 1869,. This became the first time the right to vote for women was protected by law and was never taken away. Wyoming became a state in 1890, and the suffrage law just carried over into its state constitution. Although suffrage was granted to the women of Wyoming first, Utah was the first place where women were allowed to vote under the law .
The territorial legislature of the Utah Territory gave women the right to vote on February 12, 1870 . The first woman voted on February 14, 1870, after both Wyoming and Utah had granted suffrage to women, but before Wyoming had held a election. Thus Utah was the first place where a women voted, and her right to vote was protected and allowed by law. However the United States Congress disenfranchised Utah women, and took away their voting rights, with the Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887. It was not until Utah was granted statehood in 1896 that women were again allowed to vote.

What do you mean by pit one group against other?
Generally, the phrase "to pit one (group) against the other" means to give them cause to focus their energies on battling one another, often to the benefit of some third party that needn't expend energy while the others weaken each other, placing the third party in an advantageous place.
In the arena of politics, this is often used by third-party candidates (Libertarians, for example) to refer to the act of letting Republicans and Democrats attack each other, which they usually do because of their status as the two leading political parties, allowing other parties to emerge looking pretty good in comparison to the muddy and bloody (figuratively) major candidates.
A related concept is the "wounded candidate". Sometimes, candidates from the same party will battle fiercely for their party's nomination in a primary election to represent that party in a general election against other parties. Occasionally, this campaigning becomes so fierce that the eventual winner cannot win due to all the negative publicity received during the primary campaign. The party here can be said to have been "pitted against themselves".

What is the philosophy of objectiveness of the libertarian movement?
This may be asking about the philosophy of Objectivism. Objectivism is the name Ayn Rand gave to her worldview. Objectivism is an all-encompassing term for Randian ideas, including her politics, economics, metaphysics, aesthics, etc. Ayn Rand advocated laissez-faire capitalism and a strictly limited government. Those are the tenets of Objectivist politics and economics. Therefore, you could say that all Objectivists are libertarians in there politics and economics. It also happens that many, many libertarians are Objectivists. A famous libertarian book from the 1970s was "It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand," by Jerome D. Tuccille. The title alludes to the facts that many people arrive at libertarianism through reading Ayn Rand's novels, especially "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead."
The role strategic air command played in Eisenhower's deterrence and massive retaliation?
the strategic air command was built up by Eisenhower and eventually led to the air force, complete with bombs. Because this was during the cold war period, it was meant as a deterrent from foreign (russian) attacks. The planes had the ability to carry nukes and pretty much wipe out anyone that attacked. however, overall, they did not help the massive retaliation because the price of using nukes was too heavy to bear for the relatively tiny crisis of the Soviets or the even smaller crisis of China (and it was quite pricy too.)
What does the preamble to yourself and your prosperity mean?
Actually, while it sounds like that, those are not the exact words. In the preamble (introduction) to the constitution, it uses the words "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." Posterity is an old word for "future generations." So, the Founding Fathers are declaring that they want to make sure that future generations live in a free country and enjoy the blessings of liberty.
