What granted women the right to vote?

Answer 1

When Governor Glasgow signed the Electoral Bill on 19 September 1893, New Zealand became the first self-governing nation in the world where women had won the right to vote. The Bill was the outcome of years of meetings in towns and cities across the country, with women often travelling considerable distances to hear lectures and speeches, pass resolutions and sign petitions. A number of petitions were presented to both Houses of Parliament from the early 1880s till 1893. Only two of these historically important documents are known to have survived and both are preserved at Archives New Zealand. The first of these was the unsuccessful 1892 women's franchise petition containing approximately 20,000 signatures. This was the culmination of many years work by the Women's Christian Temperance Movement and prominent suffragist, Kate Sheppard.

Answer 2

19th Amendment
No one person gave women the right to vote. In fact, gaining the right to vote in the United States required many years of advocacy. The process began in 1848 with the Seneca Falls (NY) convention, when about 90 women and a few supportive men gathered to speak on behalf of women's suffrage. The next step was when individual states (Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, etc) began granting women the right to vote in local and state elections in the 1880s and 1890s. And the process concluded with women finally gaining full voting rights in August 1920, when the 19th amendment was finally ratified. Many women of all colors and social strata worked hard to achieve the vote for women. Among them were Alice Paul, Carrie Chapman Catt, Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Belva Lockwood, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
