The inclusion of a section here on the National Council of Women Voters is a nice improvement. That organization is given surprisingly little attention in histories of the women's suffrage movement. Flexnor's Century of Struggle gives it a single sentence. DuBois's Suffrage doesn't mention it at all. For that very reason, however, I am moving and condensing the material about the NCWV in this article to bring it more into balance with the amount of material about other organizations that are given more prominence in standard histories of the movement. I am also removing all material about the NCWV from the lead section because that section needs to be limited to an outline of the main parts of the article. More detailed information about this interesting organization should go in a separate article dedicated to that organization. Bilpen (talk) 16:07, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article states, "The first state to grant women the right to vote had been Wyoming." This is incorrect. "New Jersey, on confederation of the United States following the Revolutionary War, placed only one restriction on the general suffrage—the possession of at least £50 (about $12,000 adjusted for inflation) in cash or property. In 1790, the law was revised to include women specifically, and in 1797 the election laws referred to a voter as "he or she". Female voters became so objectionable to professional politicians, that in 1807 the law was revised to exclude them." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_states_of_the_United_States#New_Jersey
