2) the south
3) the east
4) the north

Answer 1

The earliest victories of the women's suffrage movement were achieved in the west of the country.

Step-by-step explanation:

The earliest victories of the women's suffrage movement were achieved in the west of the country. Western states such as Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming had already granted women the right to vote in state and local elections by 1900. These states responded to women's movements and sought to attract more women to their male-dominated regions. The western states' less deeply entrenched gendered spheres also contributed to the early success of the women's suffrage movement in the west.
