The first country to grant women the right to vote was New Zealand. Women in New Zealand won the right to vote on September 19, 1893, following years of advocacy and activism by suffragists such as Kate Sheppard. This landmark decision made New Zealand a pioneer in women's suffrage, setting a precedent that inspired other countries to follow suit in granting women the right to participate in elections. The success of the suffrage movement in New Zealand was a significant step towards gender equality and influenced global movements for women's rights.
