It is emphasised in the passage that Wyoming ....... .

Reportedly the state of Wyoming in the western United States was almost called Cheyenne, the
name given to the first large settlement — named for one of the Native American tribes that
lived in the area. Instead the territory was named for the Wyoming Valley of northeastern
Pennsylvania, where other Native Americans in the region had formerly lived. The original term
comes from a Delaware Indian word meaning large plains or large meadows . Wyoming has
scored notable firsts in the area of women's rights. In 1869, the year after the territory was
created, its legislature granted the vote and the right to hold office to women — the first such
legal recognition in the United States. Such dedication to human rights is reflected in Wyoming's
nickname, the Equality State.
