X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Homestead Act of 1862 was gender-blind
 \, allowing women to claim 160 acres of land just like men could. As women
  homesteaders were helping to settle the West\, suffragists fought to secu
 re the right to vote for women across the United States. The Homestead Era
  and Women's Suffrage movement were intertwined and left a tremendous impa
 ct on history.</p>\n<p>Contact the Adult and Teen Services Desk at <a href
