On September 19 in 1893, New Zealand became the first self-controlling/ruling country in the world to grant national voting rights to women. The Electoral Bill was the result of years of(woman who fought for women’s voting rights) meetings across the country. Especially/famously, India granted the voting rights to women as soon as it became a Republic in 1950.
With the signing of the Electoral Bill by Governor Lord Glasgow, New Zealand becomes the first country in the world to grant national voting rights to women. The bill was the outcome of years of suffragette meetings in towns and cities across the country, with women often traveling considerable distances to hear lectures and speeches, pass resolutions, and sign petitions. New Zealand women first went to the polls in the national elections of November 1893.
