- andsoitis 9mo ago> Mussolini introduced women suffrage, I'm not joking. No single person introduced women suffrage. It emerged through independent movements across different countries. That said, it is generally accepted that New Zealand (1893) was the first self-governing country to grant women the right to vote nationally. Key figure: Kate Sheppard. Earlier partial or local suffrage: Sweden 1718 - 1772 (limited), US 1869 (Wyoming territory). Key global leaders of women suffrage: UK - Emmeline Pankhurst, US - Susan B Anthony, Elizabeth C Stanton (results in 19th Amendment) Global timeline: 1893 New Zealand, 1902 Australia (with racial exceptions), 1913 - 1918 Nordics, 1918 - 1920 UK and US, 1945-1960s Much of Asia, Africa, and Middle East, 1971 Switzerland!
