About this ebook

""Voting Rights"" explores the long and complex struggle for women's suffrage and gender equality around the world. Examining historical, political, and social factors, the book reveals how patriarchal norms and prevailing attitudes limited women's political participation for centuries. While many nations have achieved formal legal equality in voting, the book argues that substantive equality – where women can freely exercise their right to vote – remains a distant goal.

The book highlights intriguing facts such as the diverse strategies employed by suffragists, ranging from peaceful protests to civil disobedience, and the persistent barriers to substantive equality, including discriminatory laws and voter registration obstacles.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with the early women's suffrage movements in Europe and North America, before moving to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It analyzes various barriers to electoral equality, such as intimidation tactics and socioeconomic factors.

Through historical documents, legal analysis, and case studies, the book provides a global perspective on women's journey to full enfranchisement. It connects to fields such as gender studies and political science, offering a multidisciplinary understanding of the factors shaping women's voting rights and political participation. The book aims to inform policy debates and advocacy efforts promoting women's political empowerment.
