so i was thinking about women's suffrage, having recently seen iron jawed angels, when i discovered on Wikipedia this nice list of places in the world where suffrage is not extended to women.
Bhutan: One vote per family in village-level elections.note that the only place that totally prohibits women from the vote is the Vatican.
Kuwait: Female suffrage at the municipal level only.
Lebanon: Proof of education required for women, not required for men. Voting compulsory for men, optional for women.
Vatican City: Voting restricted to all-male College of Cardinals.
Oman: limited to 175000 people chosen by the government, mostly male.
nice touch, that. the most medieval country in the world, i guess.
