Women have only had the right to vote for less than a hundred years. Jad Adams is an author and historian based in the United Kingdom, and recently released his book Women and the Vote: A World History there.Adams first became interested in women’s suffrage after a visit to Cheyenne, where he learned of Wyoming’s early efforts for women’s suffrage. Adams will present his book to Governor Mead in Cheyenne November 15^th, and will give a talk at the Cheyenne Barnes and Noble the same day. He joined Wyoming Public Radio's Caroline Ballard to discuss the history and importance of the female vote.
