A child born any time during 2010 -- as late as New Year's Eve -- qualifies the parents to claim both a $1,000 child credit and a $3,650 dependency exemption. When a child is born, parents should adjust tax withholding on their paychecks to account for the reduced tax bill.
Another organization, the American Woman Suffrage Association, led by Lucy Stone, was formed in the same year to work through the state legislatures.

Wyoming Territory granted women the right to vote in 1869. Every woman living in the territory over the age of 21 was able to vote. One year later, Eliza A. Swain became the first woman to cast a vote. That same year, 1870, women were granted the right to serve on juries in the territory. These rights remained unchallenged until the U.S. Congress threatened not to grant Wyoming statehood if women continued to be allowed to vote.
