Women got the right to vote in different places in different years.
The first woman to vote in the American Colonies was Lydia Chapin Taft, who voted in Uxbridge, Massachusetts in 1756. She had been given special right to vote by the town assembly.
Women in New Jersey got the vote in 1776, provided they owned property and were the head of the family or single. The right to vote was taken away from them in 1807 because of perceived security problems that might lead to fraud.
The first territory to allow women to vote was Wyoming, in 1869. This was at least partly because people in the territory were trying to put together a large enough number of voters to qualify for statehood.
Utah allowed women the vote in 1870, but they were disenfranchised by the US congress in 1887, possibly because the women of Utah tolerated polygamy.
The first state to allow women the vote was Wyoming, when it became a state in 1890. Several States followed before women got suffrage.
The US had women's suffrage in the constitution in 1920.
Outside the United States, there were various places that allowed women's suffrage at various times, and this goes back to the 18th century or earlier. Laws allowing women the vote were rescinded at various times.
The oldest laws allowing women's suffrage are those in Pitcairn's Island, which go back to 1838. Laws in Australia allowing women's suffrage began to appear in 1861 and became universal in 1891. A number of countries saw women's suffrage come into being in the period of the 1860s to 1920s.
The UK had the first women voting in local elections in 1869, and the vote was given to all women in 1928.
Today, most women in the world can vote just as men can. There are still a few holdout countries with inequalities, including places where women cannot vote at all.
