The Women's March across the Earth (1/24):

Mobilized millions of women in both a protest of Donald Trump's presidency, policies, and as a mission for women in which each woman might find something to believe ...


In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave women the vote in America.

The year women achieved the right to vote in some other countries:
1893 New Zealand (though not yet independent of the U.K., the first)
1917 Canada
1934 Turkey
1949 China
1963 Iran
1971 Switzerland
1994 South Africa            
2011 Saudi Arabia   - source: infoplease 

In 1923, "Alice Paul" and Crystal Eastman* "drafted and began campaigning for the ratification of an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)" for women.  In 1958, Dwight Eisenhower became the first president to endorse the amendment. Though, over the years, the Equal Rights Amendment came close to ratification it remains un-ratified to this day.
