China’s Revolution: Women Rise Up, Demand Equal Suffrage

In a shocking turn of events, the Parliament at Nanking has granted equal suffrage to women in China, a move that has sent shockwaves across the former empire. This bold step forward marks a significant milestone in the fight for women’s rights, and it’s clear that the women of China will no longer be silenced. On March 21, 1912, the Parliament at Nanking passed a landmark law that will give women the same voting rights as men. But that’s not all – women voters will also be subject to the same restrictions as men, including being at least 20 years old, a property owner, and able to read and write.
