The right to vote that we take for granted was a hard-fought one for women across the world. The year 2020 marks 100 years since women in the U.S. won the right to vote in elections, after a long fight. Coincidentally, it also marks a century since an Indian kingdom granted its women the right to vote – the first in the Indian empire.
This is as good an occasion as any to take a look at some of the key moments in the world history of women’s suffrage, meaning the right to vote in political elections.
