Hy did women have the right to vote first in the west before most other areas of the country?

Because women were more independent in the west.

Explanation:

Compared to the East where most women worked factory jobs and didn't have much power, women in the West on homesteads were mostly in charge of the household if the husband was always working or there wasn't one, some even had the right to own property.
