Suffrage, the right to vote

Women have fought strongly to gain their right to vote; men opposed to give women the right to vote. At a NAWS parade in Washington, 1913. The ideas that were planted in the late 1700s took origin during the 1800s. Women began to disturb for the right to vote and participate in government and law making. The ideals of Women's suffrage developed alongside that of universal suffrage, and women's movements took lessons from those in other countries. Women’s suffrage has been granted (and been revoked) at various times in various countries throughout the world. In many countries women's suffrage was granted before universal suffrage, so women from certain classes or races were still unable to vote. The effort to obtain women's suffrage in the United States was a primary effort of those involved in the greater women’s rights movement of the 19th century. Women’s suffrage was permanently granted in 1920 with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. American women advocated women's right to vote from the 1820s onward. This was first achieved in the relatively sparsely-populated territories of Wyoming (1869) and briefly in Utah (1870), although Utah women were disenfranchised by the U.S. Congress in 1887. The thrust to grant Utah women's suffrage was at least partially fueled by outsiders' belief that, given the right to vote, Utah women would dispose of polygamy. After Utah women exercised their suffrage rights in favor of polygamy the U.S. Congress disenfranchised Utah women. Other territories and states granted women the right to vote in the late 19th and early 20th century, but national women's suffrage did not come until Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1920. In some nations women were granted full voting rights earlier than in the United States and Britain. Women first won the right to vote in New Zealand in 1893, Australia in 1902, and Finland in 1906.
