In many towns in the United States, particularly in the 19th century, women were allowed to attend town meetings but could only vote on certain matters, such as school-related issues. This practice varied by state and community, with some allowing women to participate in discussions while restricting their voting rights. One notable example occurred in Massachusetts, where a law passed in 1866 allowed women to attend town meetings but limited their voting rights until the 20th century when broader suffrage movements led to women gaining full voting rights.
