On the second congress in 1925, president Gerardo Machado made a promise to introduce women's suffrage.
Women's suffrage was introduced by president Ramón Grau San Martín in 1934, and secured in the constitution in 1940.
Club Femenino de Cuba continued its work after the introduction of suffrage, focusing on its other goals.
Club Feminino belonged to the leading women's organisations of pre-revolutionary Cuba, alongside the reformist Partido Democrata Sufragista, the liberal Alianza Nacional Feminista, the cultural Lyceum Lawn/Tennis Club, and the marxist meritocratic Union Laborista de Mujeres.
