Answer: The correct answer is : Women Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton designed a movement in the United States to have more rights, especially the right to vote. Wyoming's territorial legislators pass the bill, but for various reasons, some of them: they recognized the role played by women in border settlements, others only to strengthen the conservative voting force, others hoped that more women would settle in the country if the right to vote was established since there were more than 6,000 adult men and only 1,000 women and others wanted more justice to be done with women. Lawmakers were more interested in free advertising than in a commitment to equal rights for women.
