In Utah’s early history, women were highly engaged politically; in fact, Utah women citizens were the first in the US to vote under an equal suffrage law in 1870. Utah was also the first state to elect a female state senator (elected over her own husband in the same race), and as recently as 1992, Utah women had the highest voter turnout in the nation at 76.0%. However, by 2006, Utah women’s voting rates plummeted to 51st (50 states plus Washington DC). So where are we now? In this podcast episode, we talk about that and other elements in this report.
Dr. Susan Madsen (a Professor of Organizational Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University, and the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project and A Bolder Way Forward) interviews Corinne Clarkson (co-author/research associate of the Utah Women and Leadership Project) and Kolene Anderson (co-author and the associate director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project).
