  1. California
  2. Massachusetts
  3. Wyoming
  4. New Hampshire
  5. All of the states recognized the right at the same time
Explanation
Answer: C - In 1869, Wyoming recognized full suffrage for women, making it the first state in the country to ensure that women could vote in every type of election, from the municipal level to presidential races. By the time the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, 15 states already had those rules in place. Only seven states still refused to recognize the right altogether. All of the other states allowed women to vote in some elections, but not all.
