Female vote  in history

Women obtained the right to compose the Brazilian electorate in 1932, when the Federal Constitution extended the right to vote to citizens of the country. The act took place for the first time in 1933, in the election for the Constituent National Assembly, where the Brazilian woman could vote and be voted on at the national level. Today, 83 years later, they became the majority in the universe of voters. 

Brazil was the second country in Latin America to take this important step in the South American continent, after the Ecuadorian initiative. The change occurred even before countries like France and Belgium.
