  2. 1920 with the 19th Amendment.  

  3. Its different in different countries and US states:

    "women have been voting in some parts of the US since 1869 (Wyoming) i.e. years before the term feminism was even invented (in 1882 by Hubertine Auclert) http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tOVlv... Historical Dictionary of Feminism: Second Edition. By Janet K. Boles, Diane Long Hoeveler.

    Women have voted all over the US since 1920, in New Zealand in 1893, in Finland in 1906, and in the UK 1928, but it is worth noting that many men (of colour, or non-landowners for example) were barred from voting in times past too"

  4. You're making us do your homework! LOL

  5. At different times in different places.  In the USA, all women were given the right to vote when the 19th amendment was passed in 1920.  However, a number of states had already given the vote to women long before 1920, Wyoming was the first in 1869.


  6. The year the 19th Amendment was ratified was 1920.   In fact "Women's Equality Day" is next week August 26th.  It was a start to equal rights.  We aren't quite to the point of equality in all aspects.

  7. The first national election in which all women could vote was 1920. But some states had permitted voting for years. Equal rights came at various times.

  8. In the US, adult women got the right to vote across the country in 1920.

    As for equal rights, we're still not totally equal.  Technically rights are generally equal, but enforcement favors women in some cases, and men in others.
