What is the nickname of Wyoming?
Answer:
The Equality State
Why this is the correct answer
Wyoming is called "The Equality State" because it was the first government in the United States to grant women the right to vote, doing so in 1869 when it was still a territory. Wyoming also appointed the first female jurors and the first female justice of the peace in U.S. history, pioneering gender equality well ahead of the rest of the country.
