Starting in the mid-19th-century, women tried to alter voting legislation to permit them to vote. The first county in the world to award and maintain women’s suffrage continuously was Norway in 1913.
Before independence, in the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland, women were the first in the world to get racially equal suffrage, with both the right to vote and to be as candidates in 1906. Most dominant Western powers enlarged voting rights to women in the interwar period.
Distinguished differences in Europe were France, where ladies could not vote until 1944. In Greece, equal voting rights for women didn’t exist there till 1952. However, since 1930, educated women were capable of voting in local elections, while in Switzerland, ladies could vote at the federal level only since 1971. Swiss women got the equity to vote at the local canton level just within 1959 and 1990.
Switzerland is an unusual country with a unique history and political system. In many features, it’s one of the earliest “democracies” in Europe because it evolved from the medieval communities and not from a feudal monarchy like most other nations. Still, on the other side, many medieval institutions managed to remain there in a way that’s unheard of in other states.
It’s a small alpine country still quite conservative and rooted in old-fashioned traditions, with a complex balance of different ethnicities, languages, religions, local political institutions with a very long history.
In France, the communards have gived the right to vote to woman in 1871. But the capitalists bourgeois cancelled it after they have killed 30 000 parisians who wanted an anti-Capitalist and social society.
