THE INTERNATIONAL EUROPEAN RELATIONSHIPS -SUFFRAGISM

Clara Campoamor

Since the Second Republic was proclaimed in 1931, many women who fought to be able to exercise their right to vote, since the law allowed them to be parliamentarians, but not to participate in voting. It was then that Clara Campoamor, deputy for the Radical Party, promoted the female vote and fought for legal equality before men and the right to divorce, achieving it on October 1, 1931 with 161 votes in favor, 121 against and 188 abstentions. .

Carolina Beatriz Ângelo

1931 BCE

The first electoral law of the Portuguese Republic recognized the right to vote for "Portuguese citizens over 21 years of age, who can read and write and are heads of family." Carolina Ângelo saw in this wording an opportunity to twist it in her favor, given that, grammatically, the masculine plural of the words included is feminine and masculine.

March 19, 1911

1911 BCE

International Women's Day was celebrated for the first time on March 19, 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, after the declaration as such at the meeting of the Socialist International in Copenhagen. In 1975, during the course of International Women's Year, the United Nations began to mark International Women's Day on March 8, and two years later, in December 1977, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that Member States will commemorate that date on any day of the year.

UFSF

1909 BCE

The French Union for Women's Suffrage (UFSF: French: Union française pour le suffrage des femmes) was a French feminist organization formed in 1909 that fought for women's right to vote, a right that was finally granted in 1945.

Emmeline Pankhyurst

1904 BCE

The most prominent leader of English suffragism was Emmeline Pankhyurst, the widow of a doctor with a radical tradition who founded the WSPU (Women's Social and Political Union) in Manchester in 1904. Pankhyurst had joined the ranks of socialism in 1894, joining her husband in the independent Labor Party. Therefore, we can see in it a clear icon of the panorama drawn in the previous sections around British suffragism.

Katherine Wilson Sheppard

1902 BCE

Katherine Wilson Sheppard (March 10, 1847 – July 13, 1934) was the most prominent member of the New Zealand women's suffrage movement and thus the country's most famous suffragette. As New Zealand was the first country to enact women's suffrage on equal terms with men, Sheppard's work to achieve this end had a considerable impact on women's suffrage movements in other countries.

"Societies for Women's Suffrage"

1897 BCE

throughout the decade of the 70s. These societies, linked to the liberal parties, wanted them to present bills in favor of their objectives. All these societies were unified in 1897 in the "National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies" (NUWSS).

John Stuart Mill

At that time, only the head of the family and the owners have the right to vote.

From this movement he promoted the education of women and their right to vote.This association came to have more than 100,000 members, and focused its work on political propaganda, calling rallies and persuasion campaigns, always following a strategy of order and legality.

Mary Wollstonecraft

1792 BCE

"A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects" is one of the earliest works of feminist literature and philosophy. In it, Wollstonecraft refutes the position held by eighteenth-century political and educational theorists that women should not have access to education. She wrote The Rights of Women after reading Charles Maurice's 1791 report to the French Assembly which stated: women should only be educated in the domestic sphere.
