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.
Women were enfranchised in frontier Wyoming Territory in 1869 and polygamous Utah in 1870. The short-lived Populist Party endorsed women's suffrage, contributing to the enfranchisement of women in Colorado in 1893 and Idaho in 1896.
