Before 1893 no woman anywhere in the world had the vote in a
national election. A hundred years later almost all countries had
enfranchised women, and it was a sign of backwardness not to have
done so. This is the story of how this momentous change came about.
The first genuinely global history of women and the vote, it takes
the story of women in politics from the earliest times to the
present day, revealing startling new connections across time and
national boundaries - from Europe and North America to Asia,
Africa, Latin America, and the Muslim world post-9/11. A story of
individuals as well as of wider movements, it includes the often
dramatic life-stories of women's suffrage pioneers from across the
world, painting vivid biographical portraits of everyone from Susan
B. Anthony and the Pankhursts to hitherto lesser-known activists in
China, Latin America, and Africa. It is also the first major
post-feminist history of women's struggle for the vote.
Controversially, Jad Adams rejects the widely accepted idea that
success was primarily a result of the pressure group politics of
the suffragists and their supporters. Ultimately, he argues, it was
nationalism, not feminism, that was the most important factor in
winning women the vote.
