Did women ever have the right to vote as property owners in the colonies or the United States?

In some American colonies, certain women who met property ownership requirements could vote, particularly in New Jersey from 1776 to 1807. However, this right was not universally applied and was often limited by social and legal constraints. After the early 19th century, most states revoked such voting rights for women, leading to a long struggle for women's suffrage, which was not fully achieved until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920.


To what extent did women benefit from the American and french revolution?

Women experienced some benefits from the American and French Revolutions, but these were limited and often short-lived. In the American Revolution, women took on new roles and responsibilities, leading to increased visibility and discussions about their rights, yet they did not gain significant legal or political rights. The French Revolution initially inspired radical ideas about equality, leading to demands for women's rights, but ultimately, the gains were rolled back, and women remained largely excluded from political life. Overall, while both revolutions spurred conversations about gender equality, substantial legal advancements for women were minimal in the immediate aftermath.
