Watch out, Wyoming!
Esther Morris is coming to town!Esther Morris was a large woman with wide-open ideas that needed room to grow. So in 1869 she headed out to Wyoming. There she came upon a man who shared her notions: Colonel William Bright thought women's being able to vote made all kinds of sense. Esther decided it was time to show that women could hold office, too. So she went and became the first female judge in the United States.
Not everyone liked Esther's ideas. But Esther had the courage to show how an idea looked in the living of it—and to change some minds along the way. This is the tale of a remarkable woman who was a pioneer in more ways than one!
