My own grandmother couldn't vote until she was in her mid-twenties.

After my father died, my mother was forced to register lands and bank accounts to her brother, as she could not own that by herself. And here women had more rights in general, than in Europe or USA at that moment. And that was not even legal issue, but social issue (while in many European countries it was legal issue, in some EU countries up to 1980-90s women were not able to take loans or own a land).

Thanks for that information - fascinating.

Whenever I hear men (or women), both Progressive and conservative, say that feminism has gone too far, I just shake my head, because in my own lifetime, women were legally denied rights that men have as a matter of course.
