History of woman's right movement is a bit more complicated tan i saw
in description provided by J.Todd.
Here is a timeline:
1848 congress in Seneca Falls
1870 Rights to Vote for woman in Wyoming (USA)
1878 first international congress in Paris
1904 International Movement for Woman Right For Vote
1893 RFV - New Zeland (Rights for Vote)
1902 RFV Australia
1906 Finnland (first country in world with woman in parliament)
1913 Norway
1915 Danmark
1917 Holland, Canada, Russia
1918 Poland (Because before 1918 we were occupied :-) ), Germany,
Luxembourg, Ireland
1918 England (Only 30+ y/o woman, if pay taxes)
1920 USA !!!
1928 England

So, you can write ,,short after'' USA and England all countries have RFV
for woman, because USA and England were in the middle

BTW : last country in Europe with RFV - Switzerland (1971)
