In History: Voting in Quebec

This is the 36th post in a weekly feature here at Spare Candy, called "In History." Some posts might be little more than a photo, others full on features.

Canadian political cartoon of a woman in Quebec reading a sign that reads:

"News bulletin: for the first time in Turkish history women will vote and be eligible to the public office in the general election which takes place this week"

Women were granted the right to vote in Turkey in 1930, but the right to vote was not extended to women in provincial elections in Quebec until 1940.
