When did women get there vote?
There was never any federal law limiting women's suffrage in that manner. Before passage of the 19 amendment however, most states did allow women to vote in at least some elections. Restrictions varied from state to state and I suppose it is possible that one or more states had such a restriction. I have never heard of it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done somewhere.
What was the first year women got to vote?
The first election woman could vote was in 1920.The above applies only to federal elections in the United States. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution (ratified in 1920) provided that all women could vote in all elections nation-wide. Prior to that date, it was up to the states to decide. Consequently, before then, women were allowed to vote (both in state and in federal elections in that state) by several states, but not others.New Zealand was the first nation to grant the universal right to vote to women, in 1893 (though they couldn't run for office there until 1939).See the link below for more information about the Woman's Sufferage movement.

Who voted when women in the US were not allowed to vote?
Before women could vote, the voters were mostly wealthy white men and land-owners; eventually any white men who were citizens could vote. This was gradually expanded after the Civil War, to allow black men to vote, but this was more theory than fact in some parts of the country-- while black men could and did vote up north, in the south, many obstacles and barriers were thrown in their way, making it nearly impossible for them to vote. It should also be noted that while many states would not let women vote till the 19th Amendment became law in August 1920, other states did give women some voting rights in state and local elections. Some western states like Wyoming let women vote as far back as the 1870s, and other states like Colorado and Utah gave women voting rights in the 1890s. But women could not vote in federal elections (for president) until 1920.
