Yes & No New Zealand was the first to give women the right to vote in 1893. The colony of South Australia enacted legislation giving women the vote in 1894. Places with similar status which granted women the vote include Wyoming Territory (1869). Other possible contenders for first "country" to grant females the right to vote ( called suffrage ) include the Corsican Republic, the Isle of Man (1881), the Pitcairn Islands, Franceville, and Tavolara, but some of these had brief existences as independent states and others were not clearly independent.

Why did women not vote in the 1920s?

Women did gain the right to vote in the United States with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. However, many women, particularly those from marginalized communities, faced numerous barriers that prevented them from exercising this right throughout the 1920s. Issues such as discriminatory laws, literacy tests, and intimidation at the polls, especially in Southern states, effectively disenfranchised many women despite the legal right to vote. Additionally, societal attitudes and gender norms often discouraged women from participating in politics.
