On September 6, 1870, 70-year-old Louisa Ann Swain, a grandmother with white hair peeking out from beneath her bonnet, stepped up to the ballot box in Laramie, Wyoming and cast her vote in the general election. In doing so, many thought she became the first woman to legally cast a ballot in a general election since 1807, the year New Jersey took away a woman’s right to vote. Though women in Utah had legally voted in a general election a month prior, Swain's popularity in the newspapers made her story stand out for decades to come as one of the first women to cast a ballot legally in the fight for women's suffrage. 

Born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1800 or 1801 into a Quaker family, Swain’s father was a sea captain. When he did not come home from a voyage, 7-year-old Swain and her mother moved to Charleston, South Carolina to be closer to her mother's family. Shortly after the move, Swain’s mother died when Swain was around 10 years old and she moved into The Charleston Orphan House. At the time, there was a fine line between apprenticing with a family in exchange for shelter and food
