Answer 1

The Seneca Falls Convention took place in 1848. Wyoming granted women the right to vote in 1869, which is 21 years later.

At the national level, women in the United States won the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which is 72 years after the convention.

So, the answers are:

• Years passed until Wyoming: 21 years
• Years passed until the national right to vote: 72 years
