Does enyone know when women where declared of legal majority in Spain? That's an important issue, but it's suprisingly hard to find information about this question in any country! --85.226.235.198 19:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Perhaps the title should be changed to Timeline of Womens Suffrage (other than voting) in accordance with the other similar articles here on wikipedia? --85.226.235.171 (talk) 13:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make sense since the word itself (suffrage) means the right to vote! The title is fine as is.That-Vela-Fella (talk) 06:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see! I'm not english-speaking, so I didn't realise that. I though it meant something like Emancipating. Thanks for making that clear! --85.226.235.171 (talk) 10:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Legal majority for US women is not listed. Massachusetts and South Carolina are listed separately, but then again Massachusetts' legal majority was short-lived (also doesn't mention that). Duzins (talk) 05:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps that's true! If you know, why not add it yourself? In the case you mention above, states should be mentioned separately, but the country as a whole should also be mentioned. Just leave the source of it under references and write it in the article! Im sure a lot of things are missing in it and just waiting to be added!--85.226.43.245 (talk) 10:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abortion

This was deleted:

  • 1975: The right to abortion are secured in Sweden, South Africa and USA.

I have reintroudced it. The reason given for deletion was: if that's a right it's not a woman'. May I remind of wikipedias policy of NPOV? --85.226.45.121 (talk) 12:23, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
