If you are referring to the world in general, Women were first given the right to vote in New Zealand in 1893.

In the United States Women were given the right to vote via the 19th amendment (prohibited state or federal sex-based restrictions on voting), you can also include the 1919 vote which specifically addressed women's right to vote, it was ratified in 1920.

Women were allowed to vote in Wyoming when it became a state in 1890. The first time all women nationally were able to vote was when the 19th Amendment was ratified on August 26, 1920, and they received full voting rights.
