Women's suffrage in Chile

Women's suffrage in Chile was introduced on the communal level in 1935, and on national level on 8 January 1949. [1] It was the product of a long period of activism, tracing back to 1877, when women were allowed to attend university, a reform which stimulated the formation of a women's movement. The women's suffrage was a reform which was promoted actively since the 1920s by the organisations Comité Nacional pro Derechos de la Mujer, Pro-Emancipation Movement of Chilean Women and Federación Chilena de Instituciones Femeninas (FECHIF).
