Women's Suffrage in NJ

New Jersey's groundbreaking decision in 1790 to include women in its voting laws marked a significant, albeit short-lived, moment in the fight for women's suffrage. Despite the initial progress, the state swiftly reversed course in 1807, disenfranchising both women and free blacks. As social reform movements gained momentum in the 1830s, they inadvertently laid the groundwork for renewed advocacy for women's rights and suffrage.
