In honor of the anniversary of women's suffrage in America

I am linking to A World Chronology of the Recognition of the Women's Rights to Vote and Stand for Election. I am also linking to a PBS site that has some interesting facts about International Women's Suffrage.

It was not until near the end of the nineteenth century, in 1893, that the first country, New Zealand, granted women the right to participate in national elections on the same basis as men.

Women did not have the right to vote in my adopted country of Greece until 1952.

Here is a link to the DailyKos record of events in the final days to ratification of the 19th amendment in the United States. It's all because boys love their mommas!
