In the United States, women gained the right to vote through the 19th Amendment, ratified in the summer of 1920.
Women’s suffrage had been a long-standing debate, for about 70 years prior to the Amendment being passed. Women’s suffragists groups, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony often did see eye to eye with other suffragists like Lucy Stone and Frances Walker. It wasn’t until the Women’s Christian Temperance movement threw their weight behind a woman’s right to vote that meaningful traction began, but unfortunately tied strict religious morals to the support; more specifically the idea of Prohibition, which for obvious reasons was largely unpopular.
Maybe unsurprisingly, Louisiana led a multi-state attempt to stop the amendment from being passed, citing that women didn’t have the mental capacity to vote. Obviously the attempts ultimately failed and roughly 20 million women joined those eligible to vote.
In the opposite end of the spectrum, Wyoming was one of the first states to allow women to vote, way back in 1869!
