Appel à communications: Women, Citizenship and Voting Rights. Mulheres, cidadania e direito de voto

Argument

Women’s suffrage was debated for the first time with the development of liberal states in the late eighteenth century. Then, the adoption of universal suffrage and a new concept of citizenship started being debated. However this issue only gained real public expression from the nineteenth century, especially in the United States and in England, with the emergence of the suffrage movement.

The suffrage movement emerged both defending universal voting rights and questioning the role of women in society and in families, aiming for equal rights for men and women in their multiple dimensions. Two hundred years later, there are still countries where women have no right to vote.

This meeting will seek to examine the different modalities and practices on the defence for women’s suffrage in the long term. The conference promotes the study of these aspects in an interdisciplinary, transnational and comparative perspective and in different types of regimes.
