Timeline of women's suffrage

Some countries are listed more than once, as the right was extended to more women according to age, land ownership, etc.

[1][2] New Zealand was the first self-governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections; from 1893.

The Australian Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 enabled female British subjects resident in Australia to vote at federal elections and also permitted them to stand for election to the Australian Parliament, making the newly-federated country of Australia the first in the modern world to do so.

However, the act excluded "natives of Australia, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands (other than New Zealand)".

In Europe, the last jurisdiction to grant women the right to vote was the Swiss canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden (AI), in 1991.
