It depends on the country, but generally, women have had the right to vote for about 150 years.

Before that, women were thought “irresponsible”: politics was far too serious for them!

Their role was to stay at home and educate the children.

Many so-called democratic countries therefore denied half of their population the vote.

But little by little, feminist movements appeared and demanded more rights for women.

Before the 20th century, some countries temporarily granted women the right to vote.
