I have a few questions regarding the Timeline section:

1. Does this article actually need a Timeline section when there is already a History section?
2. Why is the Timeline organised by country, instead of chronological order?
3. Why would a "timeline" organised by country be necessary when there is a breakdown by continent immediately after it?

• Yes, as a quick reference, and as a valuable summary of the information. Nothing broken here. Randy Kryn (talk) 09:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's surprising that the map color for the US does not reflect the date of the 19th amendment. Perhaps that is beacuse significant barriers to voting existed until at least the voting rights act of 1965. These barriers, however, did not single out women. If this broad interpretation holds, it's only a small step further to say that full suffrage is not yet realized because women can't vote from prison.

It seems to me that regardless of such quibbles the US should be colored 1920. Mdmi (talk) 15:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this comment. The color is misleading here 172.58.30.212 (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
