Wikipedia: Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote and historically includes the economic and political reform movement aimed at extending suffrage to women, on an equal basis to those for men and without any restrictions or qualifications such as property ownership, payment of tax or marital status. The movement's modern origins are attributed to 18th century France. Of currently existing independent countries, New Zealand was the first to give women the right to vote in 1893 when it was a self-governing British colony.
