Female Suffrage

In the aftermath of Sweden's general election this a post about female suffrage in Sweden and Korea.

The first time Swedish women was able to voice their opinion in an election was as ealy as 1718 to 1771, and 30 % of all females was given suffrage. The first time female suffrage was discussed in the parliament was in 1884 but recieved very little support. It was not until 1900 that the fight for female suffrage had become a priority question, but it was only in 1917 that a majority for female suffrage was established. Two years later in 1919 the first decision concerning general female suffrage in muncipality elections only and by 1921 female suffrage was implemented and ever since then Sweden has practized general suffrage.

Compared to South Korean women who was not given female suffrage until 1948 after World War II during the rein of Syngman Rhee under what was called The Representative Democratic Council. Please note that the above information about female suffrage in Korea might not be accurate because of my inexperience...
