Women's suffrage began in Nevada began in the late 1860s. Lecturer and suffragist Laura de Force Gordon started giving women's suffrage speeches in the state starting in 1867. In 1869,Assemblyman Curtis J. Hillyer introduced a women's suffrage resolution in the Nevada Legislature. He also spoke out on women's rights. Hillyer's resolution passed,but like all proposed amendments to the state constitution,must pass one more time and then go out to a voter referendum. In 1870,Nevada held its first women's suffrage convention in Battle Mountain Station. In the late 1880s,women gained the right to run for school offices and the next year several women are elected to office. A few suffrage associations were formed in the mid 1890s,with a state group operating a few women's suffrage conventions. However,after 1899,most suffrage work slowed down or stopped altogether. In 1911,the Nevada Equal Franchise Society (NEFS) was formed. Attorney Felice Cohn wrote a women's suffrage resolution that was accepted and passed the Nevada Legislature. The resolution passed again in 1913 and will go out to the voters on November 3,1914. Suffragists in the state organized heavily for the 1914 vote. Anne Henrietta Martin brought in suffragists and trade unionists from other states to help campaign. Martin and Mabel Vernon traveled around the state in a rented Ford Model T,covering thousands of miles. Suffragists in Nevada visited mining towns and even went down into mines to talk to voters. On November 3,the voters of Nevada voted overwhelmingly for women's suffrage. Even though Nevada women won the vote,they did not stop campaigning for women's suffrage. Nevada suffragists aided other states' campaigns and worked towards securing a federal suffrage amendment. On February 7,1920,Nevada became the 28th state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment.
