Re: The woman
New Mexico became a state in 1912. Women were not granted the right to vote in new mexico until 1915. It was one of the last states to do so- I don't know the other states.

Re: The woman
Interesting. It's nice to know that Hattie had something to do with that.
Gee, that was a little over thirty years later.

Re: The woman
When an incredulous Lucas asked Hattie is he was really serious about voting , I wish her response had been "well, why wouldn't I be , Lucas?! I have been on my own my entire life!"

Re: The woman
I just read an article about Victorian fashion. The rifleman was a little bit out of date. Bloomers, named after suffragette Amelia bloomer, came into fashion in the 1850's. There are documented mentions of women wearing bloomers out west as early as the 1860's. Bloomers, also known as freedom outfits, were considered quite practical clothes for the outdoor frontier life.
