More thoughts

In most cases full enfranchisement for men and women differs by only a few decades. In the case of the UK the difference is 10 years. In many countries de jure or de facto full enfranchisement was granted to men and women at the same time.

Ellie, some women voted before the suffragettes and many men did not. Before the 19th century voting was generally based on property ownership (where it was possible at all). There is documentary evidence that women voted alongside men as property owners.

Both men and women only received full enfranchisement quite recently and often not far apart. In the UK, for example, men were fully enfranchised in 1918 and women in 1928.
