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. In 1890, these two groups were united as the National American Woman Suffrage Association. That year, Wyoming became the first state to grant women the right to vote.
That same year the American Woman Suffrage Association, another woman suffrage group, formed with the goal of gaining the right to vote for women by ratifying individual state constitutions. By 1878, the suffrage movement had gained enough support to put an amendment on the congress floor for debate. Though the amendment was struck down by the Senate, the suffrage movement did gain a victory in 1869 when Wyoming Territory granted women the right to vote.
